Hi all! I keep seeing posts about Covid-19 extensions. I’m wondering if you need a visa to be eligible for these extensions, or if you are visa exempt you can still apply for a Covid extension. Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for the Covid-19 extension even if you entered Thailand under a visa-exempt status.

You can apply for the COVID extension with having a visa exempt entry into Thailand.

Have you extended the visa exempt for 30 days yet?

I'm not in Thailand yet, arriving on Friday and trying to figure out how to have the longest time there. So I get 45 days first, then extend for 30, and then I could do a COVID extension?

the current "Covid19 unable to fly back home" 60-days visa is only possible to apply for until July 29th. Your own expectations are way off . .only if Thailand extends the "unable to fly back" scheme, you can hope for an extension inside the legal scheme
