What are the current visa extension rules in Thailand for expats during COVID-19?
FYI just posted at immigration
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the challenges expats in Thailand face regarding visa extensions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants inquire about specific immigration offices, requests for letters from their home countries, and clarifications on eligibility for extensions based on their current visa status. The consensus is that only certain consulates (South Korea, China, Italy) are issuing letters for 30-day extensions, while others advise returning to the home country if no other options are available.

Okay, AT THIS TIME the only consulates that issue the request for a 30 day unable to travel covid-19 extension are South Korea, China and Italy.
The US, the UK, Germany, Australia, Canada and others are saying IF you can't find a way to get a new visa or an extension on your own go back to your country, They are NOT offering the letter at this time.

But does this only apply to those who have out stayed their current visa and have no more options for extensions or have already done an extension and need an emergency extra one?.. I still have an extension left I can do.. Is this still possible

For this extension of stay based on the COVID-19 virus:
1. You can not be on overstay.
2. You *MUST* get the letter from the consulate.
3. You *MUST* have done your normal extension of stay.

I see you're from the UK; they still have flights going from Thailand to London. They won't issue you that letter.

If Moroccan borders are closed completely then the embassy surely will give a letter. If they won't then you should ask them to provide route information
