There has been no announcement yet

Important reminder: different immigration offices have different policies. This post is about Bangkok Immigration. Information about Kanchanaburi (for example) isn’t helpful.

@Geoff *******

No, it will be added on to your existing "admitted to" date.

@Martin *******

Are you using Chiang Mai? I know Pattaya has that process, but I don't think anyone else does

@Reiner ********

But he entered on a 90 day visa exempt, and then got a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19. Some immigration require it, others don't.

@Martin *******

That is a question that you need to ask the immigration office. The policy varies between offices.

I'm closing comments:

1. NOBODY knows if the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 will be extended or not. It has not been announced yet. We *WILL* Make an announcement if it's been extended.

2. Different immigration offices have different policies about acquiring an extension of stay. Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Buriram, Chiang Rai and a couple of others all allow people to apply for extensions when they have 45 days or less left on their current stamp. The other immigration offices are 30 days. However, ask your local immigration office for specific details.

3. If you have further questions about the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19, please read . If there are STILL additional questions that is not answered in that post, please make your own post.3/permalink/6 . If there are STILL additional questions that is not answered in that post, please make your own post.

They wouldn't know since news hasn't been released yet.

You will contact your embassy, and ask them for the document. Different embassies have different documents, and are called different things based on local language.
