Yes you can.

Nadine I've seen agents still get them after January 25th. If youre able to get a letter from your embassy, you can still get a covid extension too.

Sounds like user error.

Yes, you need proof of TM30 submission in Bangkok for all extensions. Either the receipt from your landlord or a screenshot if a hotel did one online.

Yes, just go to MTT. You'll need copies of passport, entry stamp, TM6, TM30, 1 photo, 1900 baht.

Bobby Howard The bilateral agreement is the Geneva Convention, it says the license must be accompanied by an official translation, which is an IDP.

Don't really have to worry about children until their 14. There's no overstay fine for children and won't effect them. Just make sure they get a new passport after they turn 18.

Sorry to hear your predicament Paul. Even with my extension, my stamp expired April 11th, but this round of covid extension started the day you applied, so I lost about 2 weeks. This seems to be consistent with the other reports of people I'm reading too.

The new orders from 25th of January give discretion on how each office applies it, and when the extension starts seems to be the area where the greatest discretion is being exercised.

For all extensions, Bangkok allows you to apply for an extension up to 45 days before your stay. You still should have been able to apply for an extension, but it would start from when you apply, so you'd loose a whole month. Do you have any marriage documents for China? If so, you could see if the Chinese embassy would issue you a letter that you cannot travel to China, might be worth a shot.

If you have both, then it's very easy to get a Thai license.

Ron That's your source?
