TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the possibility of obtaining a Covid extension while holding an ED visa in Thailand. It is possible to receive a 60-day extension due to Covid-19, but the applicant must first cancel their current student visa extension. The process involves submitting specific documents to the immigration office, including proof of inability to travel (such as a letter from the embassy), along with the necessary forms and fees.
To get an 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19, you will have to do the following:
1. Cancel your current extension of stay based on studying. You will go to the immigration office with a letter from your school saying you are no longer studying. They will cancel your existing extension of stay based on studying.
2. You will go and request a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19.
Different immigration offices have different requirements, but all require the following:
1. Your passport and:
a. a copy of your data ("picture") page
b. a copy of your most recent visa (if you have one)
c. a copy of your most recent stamp
d. a copy of your departure card
2. A TM30, filed in the immigration office.
3. The forms (each immigration office may have different forms, and ant to use their special forms)
4. A letter from your embassy saying you can not return, OR a print out from your embassy website saying they donβt issue the letters, OR a print out of a letter from the embassy saying they don't issue those letters.
5. 2x passport pictures
6. 1,900 THB.
Different immigration offices have different policies. *SOME* may require:
- The ID card of the property owner where you are staying
You can get a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19. However, do you have the original ED visa (a sticker placed in your passport), OR do you have an extension of stay (a stamp)?
