Answer summary
To extend your COVID visa in Thailand, you'll need to gather specific documentation and may need to visit a local immigration office. Requirements can vary by location, so check the rules for your specific office. Generally, you will need a signed copy of your passport's data page, a passport photo, proof of TM30 filing, a signed copy of your departure card (TM6), and details of any previous COVID extension stamps. You'll also need to complete the TM7 application form, an STM2 form acknowledging understanding of overstaying rules, a form stating your reason for not leaving due to COVID (name might vary), and pay a fee of 1,900 baht. It's recommended to check if an appointment is needed at your local office.

You’ll need this stuff. Not all offices have the same requirements so it may be slightly different depending on which of the 70+ offices you use.

A copy of your passport data page (signed),

A passport photo,

Proof of filing a TM30,

A copy of your departure card (TM6) (signed)

A copy of your latest entry stamp (signed)

A copy of any previous Covid extension stamps (signed) (Phuket requires this other offices may not)

In Phuket they require the copies to be in portrait not landscape. This means the top of your passport aligns along the shorter side of the A4. Except for the Data Page where most passports are “sideways”

(Other offices may not be as pedantic)

A filled out TM7 (application form for extensions) - the form doesn’t have a space for your email or phone number but just write it on the back (page 2).

A filled out STM2 (acknowledgement that you understand the rules for overstaying)

A filled out “I don’t want to leave because of Covid form” - I have no idea if it has an official name or number.

And 1,900 baht.

The forms are available at your local office. Most have places on site or nearby that can do the copies and photos.

cheers mate. I've got an extension from Changwattana 2 times beforehand, but read somewhere that you have to make an appointment now instead of just rolling up...

Ok it’s not a visa but we’ll let the terminology go for now. Perhaps it’s best to state where you might be applying as each office has slightly different rules.
