What is the best visa option for a digital nomad planning to stay in Thailand under the Phuket Sandbox program?

I’m approving this post, then I’m shutting comments.

>A- Visa exemption (Spanish Passport) and get a 30 day stay + 30 + 30 days extension.

On a visa exempt, you are granted a 30 day entry. You can extend it ONCE for another 30 days, giving you a total of 60 days for 1,900 THB. There is CURRENTLY a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19, however, I don’t expect it to continue for too much longer.

If you believe you qualify for some type of special visa or extension of stay, you can look at these websites:
