1. A tourist visa is good for 90 days, but on entry you are stamped in for 59 days. Confirm that you're not currently on overstay 😮

2. FOR MOST IMMIGRATION OFFICES, you have to apply for a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism before they allow you to apply for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19.

3. FOR MOST IMMIGRATION OFFICES, the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 begins on the day you receive it.

If you are self filing at Muang Thong Thani (where the TM30s are filed), this is the process (hat tip to Tod Daniels)

This is the way you need to fill out the TM30 form if you are filing with NO documentation from your land lord

Your name goes at the top of the form, your address goes under it, then your address AGAIN as the address where the foreigner lives.

In the blank area at the bottom left hand side of the piece that they will tear off and give back to you write your address again.

On the second page (the table) put all your information.

You sign BOTH forms on the signature lines. Print the forms correctly. the first page is portrait orientation and second page is landscape orientation :O

Make copies of;

-lease

-data page of your passport

-visa (if you have one)

-extension (if you have one)

-entry stamp

-TM6 departure card

sign the copies of your passport stuff.

This is a way to file a TM30 in BANGKOK without any information from your land lord at all. <- (meaning you don't need their i/d, their house book listing, a power of attorney form with the 10 baht in tax stamps).

AFAIK: this ONLY works in Bangkok but I can say with 100% accuracy that it does work

@Tom *********

There has been no announcement of the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 being renewed past the 25th so far.

@Alex *******

How did you solve the problem?

Did you do a report in person yet?

I need some more information.

1. When you say "guardian", is this where:

a. The child is a foreigner, the parent is a foreigner, and the child already has a Non-ED visa? OR;

b. The child is half-Thai, the parent is a foreigner, and the child has Thai citizenship because the mother is Thai?

2. How many days remaining do you have left on your 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19?

@Gareth ******

No they do not.

@Bong *********

And what would a translator do?

@Espanola ******

Get them to write a document converting the GBP to USD

@Garry *****

You would go to Changwatta immigration office. The 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 will begin on the date you acquire the extension (for most immigration offices). Remember, you will need a TM30 submitted at the immigration office to use that office.
