"In order to reduce congestion and maintain safety from Covid19, please apply next extension by 15Nov".

Essentially...please don't wait until last minute so the office doesn't get overwhelmed. 😉

Why was I charged 3,000 baht for my first COVID visa extension in Thailand instead of the 1,900 baht fee?

Marguyvin **********

People on the gulf islands (Tao, Phanghan, Samui) actually appreciated the 3000 deal. It saved them an extra hassle of having to return a 2nd time on a ferry boat trip just to get the stamp. It's a non-standard fee though. The official is always 1900baht.

It sounds like you were given the "express" service to expedite your stamp. This happened a few times at Surat Thani also last year. When word got around, they quickly stopped doing it.

Be certain you were at Udorn Thani Immigration.

It might be you were at an Immigration Services Office(read:agent) in Udorn Thani. 1900 is all you would pay at the official govt office.

How long can I extend my visa exempt stay in Thailand and what reasons are acceptable for the extension?

Marguyvin **********

If it's your first extension since you arrived, then you get 30 days as a standard extension. Then you may attempt to apply for a 60-day covid hardship extension up to 45 days before your new extension stamp expires (if the government has not ended covid extension program by the time you apply). Just write reason: Covid-19

I agree! Even when the borders open, a visa run will be huge hassle and huge expense on both sides of the border.

Jody Dayton Peace That's news to me. I am not on a tourist visa, I'm on a visa exemption. So I have to do mine at the office in Muang Thong Thani...and they did not require me to do any 90-day reporting.
