Benjamin Hays when you say people are getting verbally rejected, then I would question why? I have not heard of this, and I am on a covid extension and they didn't reject my extension last week. It was easy, and told to come back May.

@Benjamin *****

I am surprised people are getting verbally rejected unless they upset the wrong people with bad attitude.

From what I have heard the government don't want foreigners to leave unless dodge or painful. Yes STV is different, but they want foreigners to come and/or stay.

Got an extension last week in CR. It was not clear, but I gather they are not sure and will hear more after March.

The STV is until September 30. So I wish they will keep extensions going until at least Sept 30.

I did get a letter from the Australian embassy to stay. Chiang rai immigration told me that it will be reviewed in September and I will get another month, and then another month on my letter.

I had a non B but it moved to a tourist visa because I was avoiding a visa run to Singapore because of CV.

I am trying to avoid a return to Australia, and how fxxxen dare the Australian State government charge $3000 for a room. I hate small spaces, claustrophobia and anxiety is a problem and creates mental issues. Feel like tongue them.
