@Umer ********

It *IS* in the Royal Gazette.

I'm attaching the proof that the new 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 was released.

You said TWICE in my group that it wasn't announced. I sent you the proof and the website. It's published in the Royal Gazette. I'm attaching the official order. The website of the Royal Gazette is

An APEC card is designed for short term business, and not for tourism. Since it is not a tourist visa, I would not EXPECT for another 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 to be issued.

When you applied for the STV, one condition was not to get any other extension of stay in country. I would assume that you would not qualify for another 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19. Ask your local immigration office for details.

@Mau *******

You can apply for it when you have 30 days or less remaining on your existing "admitted to" stamp (45 days or less remaining for some immigration offices). The 30 days will be added on to your existing "admitted to" stamp.

Are you applying for your first 30 day extension of stay based on tourism?

>Must leave Thailand on March 27 (current policy).

If your most recent visa is a Non-Imm (Non-B, Non-O, Non-OA, Non-ED), you can not apply for any more 60 day Extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19. If you apply, it will be rejected and you will have 7 days to leave.

>I can also apply for a covid visa in early March. The validity period is two months, which means that the visa can be used until May.

You are applying for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 (NOT a visa). IF approved, you will be granted another 60 days to stay in Thailand. You can only apply if you entered on a 60 day tourist visa or a 30 day visa exempt.

@Reiner ********

the new regulations only apply to the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19. It did not change the 60 day extension of stay based on visiting Thai family

@Andrew ****

no. The retirement is for the money to be seasoned for two months for a one year extension of stay based on marriage.

There is no seasoning requirements for a one year extension of stay based on raising half Thai children though, so that might be an option

@Astrid *********

I have not seen or heard of any agent that can get a 7 day extension of stay denied stamp overthrown.
