Can I extend my STV visa for a third time in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi guys! I guess I know the answer already, but let's see :).

I got STV, I extended it twice already (which gives me 270 days in country) and of course that's the most you could get from it.

The question now is - did anything change and is it possible to maybe extend it for the 3rd time in some normal or tricky way? Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Special Tourist Visa (STV) allows for two 90-day extensions after the initial entry, totaling 270 days in the country. Currently, no third extension option is available. However, there may be a possibility to apply for a 60-day COVID extension until August 24th, 2022. If that is not granted, the individual would need to leave Thailand and apply for a new visa from a consulate abroad.

I'd have a ticket out of Thailand within 60 days to show immigration your seriously not trying too hard to milk the system.

Umm, there is no "get three extension" off an STV and there never was 🙁

You enter, get 90 days and you can get TWO additional 90 day extensions. Then you're done.

You MIGHT <- read that as "you may be able to" go to your immigration office and apply for a 60 day covid extension (that program runs until the 24th of Aug).

Keep in mind there is no guarantee you'd get it but you're out nothing by asking.

Worst they can say is no you can't get one and then you'd have to exit/re-enter the country to come in on a visa exempt entry OR you'd go to a thai consulate in another country and buy a single entry tourist visa and come back.

You can TRY applying for the 60 day Covid extension until August 24th.

The worst they can do is say no and stamp your passport with a 7 day "get out of Thailand" stamp
