TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the possibility of applying for a COVID extension on their volunteer visa before its expiration date on December 22. Several comments suggest that a letter from the volunteer organization is necessary to cancel the current extension and apply for a new one due to travel restrictions.

Robert *******

an Extension of Stay bought and used an unknown volunteer organization in a different part of the country, No documents to close this extension other than going back to the agency and pay for a new service. I hope it all will work out, but it is the price to pay when using agents to circumvent the rules.

Since Robert was nice enough to approve the post, LOOK in your passport, is your stamp for this "volunteer visa" issued in a province OTHER THEN Surat Thani (thanks Tod Daniels for the correction)?

It'd say Surat Thani if it was issued down there (as that's where Koh Phangan is 😉 )

With a letter from the Volunteer organization you cancel your current Extension of Stay and apply for a new Extension of Stay because you are unable to travel.
