How can I extend my mother-in-law's tourist visa in Thailand given current travel restrictions?

ORIGINAL POSTER
My mother-in-law is now at Bangkok on visa amnesty over tourist visa which will be expired on 31st of July. From my country Bangladesh, so far there is no repatriation flight till then. As Bangladesh Covid-19 condition is not good, I am not sure if the flights between Thailand and Bangladesh will start soon and also it will be a higher risk to get into Bangladesh even the flight is started.

At this point what can I do for extending her visa for another one or two months? Any prediction on visa ministry extension for the countrieas with high rate of infections?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is seeking advice on how to extend their mother-in-law's tourist visa, which is currently under visa amnesty and set to expire on July 31st. Due to ongoing travel restrictions amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, flights back to Bangladesh are uncertain. Various comments suggest that while she cannot extend the amnesty stamp, there may be options to apply for certain visas without leaving the country. Community members emphasize the need to wait for official announcements from Thai authorities regarding amnesty holders and visa options.

Your comment was "certainly ur relative will be able to stay in Thailand for a few months more after the 31st July" as if you know what will happen. You do NOT.

Do not pretend to know about things you have no clue about. You are doing people no favours. End of story.

You CANNOT extend her stamp at all IF she went on amnesty, she needs to watch for the government announcement as far as what amnesty holders need to do and then follow it.

You CAN get her back to bangladesh you just can't get here their directly straight from Bangkok..
