TLDR : Answer Summary
The possibility of obtaining a second 60-day COVID extension in Thailand is at the discretion of the immigration officer. Although there is no explicit restriction against receiving multiple extensions, it is not guaranteed. It's also worth noting that the individual who posted initially had entered Thailand with a visa exempt entry and clarified the difference between this and a visa on arrival.

Just correcting terminology, as it may make a difference down the line. You didn’t arrive on a visa on arrival. You got a visa exempt entry, meaning you have no visa. A visa on arrival is a different thing although and only valid for people from 15 countries, including India and China among others. That entry only allows for 15 days and is not extendable.

It’s at the discretion of the officer you apply to. No reason why you can’t get a second or third or fourth (if they extend the date). But it’s not a given that they’ll issue it.

thanks. Given that when I arrived they stamped my passport with a 30 day expiry that is a visa stamp of some sort. It is the same stamp I have always gotten. Call it what you like lol.. correcting your correction it's 19 countries not 15 lol

sorry I forgot to type “or so” after the 15. But thank you for the correction.

Usually it’s just semantics on what it’s called but for an example in Bangkok it makes a difference as to what office you use for extensions.
