ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello I'm a Canadian resident and wondering if its possible to extend my visa another 30-60 days.

Arrived into Thailand on Dec 10th which i was given 30 days. I then got a visa extension which gave me another 30 days. I later then got the 60 day covid extension visa which runs out April 8th.

I came here to complete some diving courses which took about 3 months and now want to go visit my family (thai stepmother and grandparents). So I'm wondering what my options are to extend another 30 or 60 days

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, a Canadian resident, inquired about the possibility of extending their Thai visa, which was initially granted for 30 days, then extended by another 30 days, and finally, a 60-day Covid extension that expires on April 8th. Various comments suggested that they might apply for another extension before March 25, 2022, but this ultimately depended on immigration policies. A comment indicated that the user successfully obtained their Covid extension without issues.

Up to Immigration, but from my personal experience I don't believe you will have any issues securing another covid extension. But go today/tomorrow. Don't leave it til the last minute, in case you need to make alternate plans. ;)

The program of Extension of Stay based on being unable to travel runs until 25 March, you might apply before that day for another 60 days.

If you knew you need more than 3 months inside Thailand, the choice of arriving for 30 days was not the best.

it's a discretionary extension for the IO. Best to massage the situation by looking presentable and showing some proof that you intend to fly out within the 60 days. You might gently opine that the entry requirements into Canada are not easy these days.
