doomslayerxyz Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 On 11/10/2020 at 10:55 PM, doomslayerxyz said: I did this today. I already had a 60 day extension based on marriage (due to expire on 25 Nov) and went to Chaeng Wattana for a new Covid extension. Initially the officer wasn't sure I can have another extension, but after asking a colleague they agreed I can get a new extension for Covid. They gave me an "Under Consideration" stamp, and to return on 24 Nov. Is it likely that they will give me 2 months until 25 January? Is it possible they only give me 30 days? Is it possible they reject it? For an update on this, I went again today and got my passport stamped until 8 January (so I guess that's 60 days from the time of application, so it would have been better to apply later). The process to get it is simple: just show them your passport, get a queue and you're sent to L2 counter, which just takes your passport and gets it back to you with the extension. The receipt to show I paid 1900 was not necessary. I arrived there at 7am, and at 9am I was finished. 7am is a good time to arrive and you can get an early queue.

Yes, the under consideration seems to be variable by office. I will update after 2 Dec. to verify if/or how many days extension I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanes2007 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 If I'am not wrong when the Amnesty period was expired at the end of August we all had to legalise our staying in Thailand by one way or another.

It had something to do with the letters from the Embassies as part of the extension requests it's due to the fact the immigration office anounced the extenstion of the amnesty in October, while the previous set expiring day of the amnest was due on the 26th sept.

Quite friendly and helpful Hi there, I stay in CM on a tourist visa/amnesty and my current covid extension visa expires on the 30th Nov. Some questions if you could kindly help: 1) Which office did you go to (the one at promenada mall, or the one near the airport?) 2) What documents did you provide or did they request for? 3) For the Affidavit, did the office provide it for you on the spot? 4) What was the overall process like? Any comments on it? Thanks so much.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanes2007 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 At the entrance to the Airport office you will be given an application form in duplicate (so take 2 photos) and several other documents that have to be signed. Friendly assistant at the entrance will check your documents and if everything is OK send you inside the building to the ticket counter, there nice ladies check the documents again... and ask for a Letter from the Embassy! If an applicant can't provide it, they give an Affidavit with a few checkboxes kinda "the Embassy of my country does not issue such a letters." Filled it but the package is still incomplete - they also asked for a printout an email from the Embassy or at least the announcement page from the Embassy's website. I guess this is a formal requirement. In my case they agreed to accept the even Embassy's Facebook page. Having printed the page at home the next day I came back to the same nice ladies. They checked the documents again and were completely satisfied with the beautiful color printout from Facebook in Russian. Gave me a ticket, 15 minutes of waiting, call, 1900 baht, taking photo,10 minutes of waiting - Mister Blanes2007! Take your passapot! - Got stumped until 20 of January!

maipenraime Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Thanks Blanes Really appreciate the info. Just to double check, you did not go to promenada mall correct? but you went to the one closest to the airport. It's important for me to reconfirm. So to sum up, in order to get 60 days extension you need: 1) TM30 2) Color photographs (2) 3) printout of embassy refusal/inability to issue letter 4) fill in Affidavit form which is provided by the immigration on the spot 5) 1900 baht 6) fill in normal application form Is there anything else i'm missing in the process? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanes2007 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Thats right ???? I went to Promenada first as I got my previous 2 month stamp there (probably as well as you). But they 've changed everything again and sent me to the Airport office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
