I had extended 90 days twice for my STV visa and the last extension will be expired by 25th this month. 

I plan to apply the 60 days covid visa extension before my STV visa (total 270 days) finished this month.

As far as I understand that, STV visa cannot change to other type of visa without leaving Thailand. But for current scenario, if after I applied the 60 days covid visa extension, can I change the visa (60 days covid visa extension) to non O / retirement visa before the covid visa expired ?

Summary so far

The individual is inquiring whether it is possible to change from a 60-day Covid visa extension to a Non-O or retirement visa while remaining in Thailand after applying for the extension. Responses indicate uncertainty about the process, as it seems there have been no confirmed cases of such a change being accepted or formally rejected. Suggestions include applying for the extension based on COVID-related travel issues and considerations about land borders being closed.

My opinion:

Apply for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19. I have seen no reports of anyone being (formally) rejected, and I also seen no reports of anyone being accepted either.

You're out of nothing by trying.

We’ve not seen any reports of this being possible. There’s been a report saying they’ve got a Covid extension off an STV but it’s still very unclear on what rules will be applied.
