TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the possibility of applying directly for a 60-day Covid visa upon the expiration of their current 60-day tourist visa, expressing a desire to skip the 30-day extension. Commenters mention that the rules require the 30-day extension first, despite variations in enforcement at different immigration offices. There are also mentions of a recent change in rules regarding Covid extensions and a suggestion to use an agent for assistance.

they've changed the rules literally a day or two ago which explicitly state a 30 day extension must be taken before any unable to travel due to covid extension is given.

I always thought it was that officially the proper way but some were flexible. It does make sense to use whats correct the first time.
