TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is traveling to Thailand on a Visa on Arrival, which initially grants 15 days but has been temporarily extended to 30 days for arrivals before April 1st. However, Visa on Arrival does not qualify for extension beyond this period. Further clarifications about the current status of the Visa on Arrival beyond April 1st were discussed, with speculation but no firm information available.

Is there any speculation of them letting the visa on arrival be for 30 days after 1st April?

Passport holders from Fiji qualify for Visa on Arrival. I believe there is an option to fill out the application online before you arrive in Thailand, but this is not called evisa, though I'm unsure what the name is.

Normally this is for 15 days as you stated, but if you arrive before April 1st, this has been temporarily extended to 30 days. So you'll already receive the 30 days you are looking for if your trip is before April.

Visa on Arrival does not qualify for an extension unfortunately.

What country is your passport from? There's no such thing as a 15 day evisa so knowing where you are coming from might help us figure out what the actual situation is.
