TLDR : Answer Summary
If your Ed visa is set to expire next month, you may still be able to apply for a 60-day COVID extension, but there are specific procedures to follow. Ensure you have required documents such as your passport data page, TM30 filing proof, and forms TM7 and STM2. It's crucial to note that the process may vary by location, and not all immigration offices have the same requirements.

Doubt you're on a 90 day ED visa and would imagine you're really on an "extension of stay" based on education. You will need documentation from your school saying you stopped studying to first cancel that extension and then you can apply for a 60 day covid extension after that.

How long have you been here on this "education visa" ?

I was this ED visa on three years and I have already finished my degree. And that ED will expire next month. Thank you for your information.

You’ll need this stuff. Not all offices have the same requirements so it may be slightly different depending on which of the 70+ offices you use.

A copy of your passport data page (signed),

A passport photo,

Proof of filing a TM30,

A copy of your departure card (TM6) (signed)

A copy of your latest entry stamp (signed)

A copy of any previous Covid extension stamps (signed) (Phuket requires this other offices may not)

In Phuket they require the copies to be in portrait not landscape. This means the top of your passport aligns along the shorter side of the A4. Except for the Data Page where most passports are “sideways”

(Other offices may not be as pedantic)

A filled out TM7 (application form for extensions) - the form doesn’t have a space for your email or phone number but just write it on the back (page 2).

A filled out STM2 (acknowledgement that you understand the rules for overstaying)

A filled out “I don’t want to leave because of Covid form” - I have no idea if it has an official name or number.

And 1,900 baht.

The forms are available at your local office. Most have places on site or nearby that can do the copies and photos.

Many offices will give you a “under consideration” stamp requiring you to return somewhere from 5-14 days later where they will stamp for the remaining 60 days. If they do you MUST use the same office to “close out” that stamp. For example you cannot get a “under consideration” stamp from Bangkok and close that out in Chiang Mai 15 days later.
