Consider reapplying on basis of soft power (a few dentist appointments) and keep Thailand out of your professional situation. That will save you a lot of nosiness and headache.

Getting DTV with a single medical appointment seems preferable to voluntarily giving Thailand insight into your employment/business/income history, complete with a cucked letter saying the slave is 'allowed to work from remote'. Thanks for your Jakarta report and enjoy your 5 year visa!

Recently made a Malaysia border bounce with a visa agency, after 2.5 years of COVID amnesty + 12 COVID extensions.

The wheels were likely pre-greased, because all went swimmingly. 🐟

Tuna sandwiches were provided. Back home the same evening!

Same situation as

@M**

. I applied at Phuket Immigration over a week ago and my under consideration stamp says I should return on the last day of my current extension.

Website says "Application no. not found". 🤔

Same situation, also Phuket. It's confusing.

I went together with a friend and his visa expires a few days before mine. He received a "under consideration, return next week" date, but right below he already got the full extension, dated until the end of August.

Unclear what we will get on June 24, or whether my friend has to return at all.

Correct,

@T**

! That's also what I said to the office clerk on the phone.

I told him not to worry about it, and to forward my application to the actual immigration officer for processing. His concern was appreciated, but I found it strange that he wasn't aware of the COVID-19 extensions order expiring on Jan 29. Or maybe he knew more than us?

He suggested to withdraw my application and for me to come back in Feb... no thanks! 😅

@Wa**

: that's interesting, a request for 90 day report... that's only used for longer extensions. Same for re-entry permit. It looks they used the incorrect stamp for your extension.

Yeah, Phuket office will have a buzzy social day on Jan 29. I'll post an update in this group.

Depends on the office,

@Mic****

. My previous COVID extension expires in February, but after applying at Phuket this week the office called me to inform me that I was going to lose days. "Why did you apply early? Now you will only get 30 days." 😆

People in Bangkok, Samui, Chiang Mai, etc, are receiving the full 60 days, counted from the expiration of their previous extension of stay.

Looks promising. My first extension expires end of Feb, but I went to apply for a second one at Phuket anyway.

After applying, the office called me to ask why I had applied early (...) and they hinted that I was going to lose days. It really depends on the office.
