@Milan *******
you need to ask that question at the immigration office where you apply for your extension. Some make you take the 30 day extension first but some will let you get the 60 day covid one straight away

Antonio Ciampitti it costs you 1,900 Thai baht to get the Covid extensions.

This is a good time to avoid the stress of COVID extensions and get your one year extension ...

I'm just wondering if it is also about TR60.

The TR60 is the tourist visa. You can not get a tourist visa inside Thailand.

@Jove ********
Your TR60 (tourist visa) is a single entry visa. You have to get an extension of stay to stay longer. GENERALLY, most people would get a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism, however the Thai government is also selling a 60 day extension of stay based on COVID-19.

MOST immigration offices will want you to get a 30 day extension of stay based on tourist first.

I did. TR60 is my current visa which can extend until May.
