Hi guys, how much money are we supposed to pay to extend for Covid visa extension? Someone asked me to prepare 5000 bahts for my extension tommorow. I am teacher waiting for my work permit so i can apply for my work visa. I have to extend my covid visa one more time. I paid 1900 bahts for my covid visa in March in Chaiyaphum, now i have to extend in Angthong.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The standard fee for extending a visa in Thailand, including the Covid extension, is typically 1,900 baht. However, there may be additional costs associated with obtaining a work permit and a Non-B visa, which can total around 5,000 baht according to some comments. It is important to note that working without a valid Non-B visa and work permit is considered illegal.

alright any way you look at this you're working illegally, period end of story.

There is no middle ground. you either have a Non-B visa/extension AND a valid work permit meaning you can work OR you don't. You need BOTH the correct visa and a work permit to legally work

You can't work once you've applied for a work permit until you get it, you can't work while you're waiting to get the paperwork to apply for the Non-B visa

ALL extensions inside the country no matter how long they're valid for are 1900baht.

If you are waiting for a work permit but working then you are working illegally.

You are asking about a 60 day unable to travel extension, no such thing as a Covid visa extension. This extension is 1900B

Not sure what you are trying to say but as land borders are open you can travel to a neighboring country, the closer you are to a land border the more likely you are to be rejected for a unable to travel extension.

Usually the school asks you to pay 5000 or they take it out of your salary.
