With the changes is it still for STV to get a COVID visa extension. I’ve done the COVID extension 3 times already on top of the initial 9 months I was granted. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses whether it's possible to obtain a COVID visa extension after utilizing the Special Tourist Visa (STV) for an initial period of 9 months and three previous COVID extensions. Comments suggest that the new COVID extension policies are stricter, may not allow further extensions for those on the STV, and advise consulting local immigration offices for specific guidance.

I'm shutting down commenting. This is not an "exit plan" discussion group. If you need help identifying potential countries to enter, please visit

The new Covid Extension is much stricter than the last so be prepared and have an exit plan in mind just in case

It sounds like you will need to fly to some country that accepts unvaccinated visitors. That's your "exit plan"...

Unvaccinated can fly as long as they test RT-PCR negative

UNLESS there's a medical reason for it, you should be able to walk in and get the vaccine. I KNOW in Kanchanburi they are giving it out for free at Robinson, TMK, and Big-C without any ID required. I'm sure it's similar elsewhere too.

oh I see. How much longer do you need before 6 months?

You would also need to factor in the time between the first and second shots

When you applied for the STV, one condition was not to get any other extension of stay in country. I would assume that you would not qualify for another 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19. Ask your local immigration office for details.
