Place is surprisingly a madhouse these days! I was able to get my regular 30-day extension in just two hours; not without the usual rudeness and abrasiveness of your blue vested glasses guy at the first desk. Goodluck everyone!

No dice!

@Ike ********

always do!😎

@Che *******

they always “tack on” the 30-day extension. Even if you go do it the second day you are in country. You always get your full 60. I have never heard of or experienced otherwise.👍

Actually they are tiny elves who are moonlighting since their main job is not paying so well!

@Stuart ********

I would also add to Make sure all your paperwork is done prior to arrival! I had all my stuff in order, but the blue-vested glasses guy at first desk decided he didnt like all my copies on one single page! Apparently this country loves to kill trees. MAKE SEPARATE COPIES OF ALL! Picture page, visa stamp and both sides of TM6. Otherwise you are banished to the “copy line” on the first floor which takes forever. My copy lady was very polite tho.

Plus I had the latest contract for my condo that I’m renting as well as a TM30 fully filled out just as a back up. neither were even asked for!

They want you to use your one-time 30-day extension before you apply for Covid extension (s)

(I tried giving my usual advice over in the “farang trapped abroad” forum but there’s too many poisonous “keyboard warriors” over there constantly dragging my posts into the mud and taking silly little irrelevant keywords out of context, Totally missing the meaning of my post to begin with. Completely sick and fed-up with it.) Hoping to have much more success over on this forum! Thank you!
