What happens to my visa if I apply for a COVID extension before my tourist visa expires?

Sawadee again🙈🙏

One more question... my 60 day tourist visa expires on April 10th. I want to try to get the covid extension tomorrow. Instead of the normal 30 day extension🍀

BUT IF THEY DON'T GIVE ME THE COVID EXTENSION... do I have to be afraid that they will only give me 30 days from tomorrow instead of april 10th?

Thank you very much❤

TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is seeking clarification about applying for a COVID extension to their 60-day tourist visa, which expires on April 10th. They are concerned that if they are not granted the COVID extension and only receive a regular 30-day extension, whether that would start from the date of their application rather than their current expiration date. Responses indicate that the 30-day extension would indeed start after the current visa expiry, and that applying for a COVID extension may require the prior 30-day extension.

The law says you must take your 30 day extension before you can apply for Covid extension, so don't be too surprised when they tell you the same

If you only get the normal 30 days extension it will start from when your existing extension expires
