I'll put this here for followup.

We went to Jomtien to get our retirement extension, the guy looked at it and said because we got the non-o in Bangkok, we had to get the first year extension in Bangkok. We were about to leave and I asked if we could get the covid extension here. He said yes, then I asked if we got the covid extension here, could we then get the retirement extension in Jomtien. He asked someone behind the counter, and he said yes. An interesting way to bypass the system.

So we applied for the covid extension today, we have 30 days left on our non-o. The under consideration period is a crazy 28 days. That 28 days is on a Friday, our non-o expires that Sunday. No room for error. I don't know why the under consideration time is so long, considering we couldn't apply at Jomtien before 30 days left on our visa.

I don't think I should sign the certified bank letter and statement unless they want it.

- no documents had to be shown. We did have to put our name and phone number on the list on their clipboard, standard covid check in.
