What are the options for a tourist visa overstay in Thailand and is the COVID extension still available?

@William *****

Now we're getting somewhere. Your friend can get a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 OR a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism (depending on the immigration office).

The requirements are almost the same.

Different immigration offices have different requirements, but all require the following:

1. Your passport and:

a. a copy of your data ("picture") page

b. a copy of your most recent visa (if you have one)

c. a copy of your most recent stamp

d. a copy of your departure card

2. A TM30, filed in the immigration office.

3. The forms (each immigration office may have different forms)

4. A letter from your embassy saying you can not return, OR a print out from your embassy saying they don’t issue the letters. [Only for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19]

5. 2x passport pictures

6. 1,900 THB.

Different immigration offices have different policies. *SOME* may require:

- The ID card of the property owner where you are staying

- Copies of *ALL* stamped pages in your passport
