A friend of mine arrived on a single entry Tourist Visa on the 18th of December last year. As I understand it, he'll be able to get a 45 day extension before his stamp expires later this month. That would take him to the beginning of April. The thing is, he'd like to stay 2-3 months longer if possible. Would he be eligible for a Covid extension even though he's only been in Thailand since December 2020? If not, are there any other alternatives for him?
I'd appreciate any insights into this matter. Thank you😊
TLDR : Answer Summary
A friend entered Thailand on a single entry Tourist Visa on December 18, 2020, initially allowing a stay of 60 days. He can obtain a 30-day regular extension for 1900 baht. After that, he may qualify for a COVID-19 extension before March 30, 2021, allowing him an additional 60 days.
