Hello Guys! I hope everyone is staying safe.

I just want to raise a question with regards to VISA Extension. 

I am an ED Visa Holder and will be extending this coming July. Do they still require COVID Test Results for you to be able to extend your VISA? or not anymore?

Thank you and I hope to get responses from anyone who's familiar with this. Thanks thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The question asks whether a COVID test is required for extending an ED visa in Thailand. Responses indicate that no COVID test is necessary for visa extension as of now, based on personal experiences shared by other expats.
