TLDR : Answer Summary
As of now, there has been a recent extension of the COVID visa, now valid until May 24, 2022. However, holders of non-immigrant visas may find the extension less relevant, as the opportunity to acquire a COVID extension if holding a non-immigrant visa ended on January 25, 2022. Further announcements regarding the situation are anticipated.

 So it means you can get 60 days more extension until 24th May or apply for extension of 60 days until 24th May?

For non immigrant visa holders it’s useless anyways.

I got the chance to catch my last covid extension visa before 25.01.22 which gave me a stamp to beginning of May.

But since 25.01.22 it’s not allowed anymore to get it if you had non immigrant visa before even with agent.

Nadine I've seen agents still get them after January 25th. If youre able to get a letter from your embassy, you can still get a covid extension too.

 okay I understand what you mean. I will find an agent to go on my behalf maybe that’s a safer option. Or wait till the baby is born and then do a non-O.

What would you do in my situation?

 okay I have a month long overstay because I was trying to switch to an ed visa. And I don’t have vaccines so leaving is difficult for me. Plus my gf is pregnant and I want to help her and take care of her

 You have to be really careful man, if you overstay more than 90 days you'll get blacklisted for 1 year. Month is a long time. I wouldn't go to immigration yourself, I'd let an agent contact them for you.

Also, once your child is born you'd be eligible for a Non-O based on having Thai family. You have to make it here that long though and don't get blacklisted.

 If you're on a month long overstay, I wouldn't go to immigration. If you're caught in country on overstay you can be arrested and deported. Whatever you do, don't go over the 90 day mark.

 Depends on how much of an overstay. Some offices will let you pay on overstay fine and get an extension (especially if you've tested positive for Covid and have been isolating).
