Can I apply for a Covid extension in Thailand if I already extended my visa after arriving on a 30-day stamp?

Hi All

We received a visa stamp on arrival 30d and have had an extension for 30d. We'd like another extension, i was told we need to apply for a Covid extension. I'm just wondering if I select check box one on the Covid form "Not permitted to enter or Covid situation still ongoing" as my reason for staying? We have all other docs.

Thanks for any advice

First you don't have a visa on arrival ๐Ÿ˜• (those are SOLD to people from 18 countries when they show up here for 2000baht and you get stamped in for 15 days AND you can't extend them 30 days) ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

So now that we know you showed up here without any visa and were stamped in for FREE for 30 days and already taken your 30 day regular extension all you can do is go try tomorrow to get the covid extension.

They probably aren't gonna believe you can't go back to your country seeing as you just flew from there here not that long ago.

Go try for it, and do it tomorrow as that's the last day of the covid extension. I mean all they can say is no and then you leave when your 30 day stamp runs out.
