ORIGINAL POSTER
Arrived Dec 31st on a 60 day visa

We planned on renewing our visa the first week in February as I was told you could renew it within 30 days of it expiring. And we will be in Phuket then

As our next stop is Lanta then Lipe

How do you think any new rules will apply. We are vaxed with two boosters. We have health insurance through my employer

We also have our return ticket for March 29th

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user arrived in Thailand on a 60-day visa and plans to renew it in early February while in Phuket. They are seeking advice on potential new rules affecting their visa extension, given their vaccination status and possession of health insurance. Responses indicate that new COVID-19 rules are unlikely to affect extensions and that the process for extending a visa can be easily completed at any Thai immigration office, such as the one in Blue Tree.

If by "New Rules" you are referring to the new Covid Restrictions, they would only be applied upon entry. You are already in Thailand, so not an issue. And, simple and easy to get 30-day Extension with TM7 Form, and your local Immig. Office, and 1900 Baht.

If a TM30 is required it will have to be in the province where the TM30 is registered

New rules won’t affect extensions (almost certainly)
