What options do I have if my kids' education and guardian visas are delayed and I have Covid while needing to leave Thailand?
We are waiting on kids education visas and our guardian visas. School has really been dragging their feet. We extended our visa on arrivals once already so need to leave by Friday and return and hope they renew another 45 days. Bought tickets to Singapore but now both my wife and I have Covid and don’t feel like traveling.
Any relief for this situation from immigration?

Summary so far
The user is facing issues with delays in obtaining kids' education and guardian visas, leading to a need to leave Thailand by Friday to extend their visa on arrival. They have purchased tickets to Singapore but are unable to travel due to both contracting Covid-19. A commenter notes that immigration does not recognize Covid as a valid excuse and suggests applying for another visa extension, which may result in a 'get out of Thailand' stamp that requires them to leave within 7 days.

Covid isn't considered anything anymore, so you don't really have any options.
The only thing you can do is go and apply for another extension and if they accept your application and your 1900₿ they will give you a 7 day "get out of Thailand" stamp that starts the day you apply.
Once you have this stamp it means you have no options but to leave within 7 days, and although unlikely it could also cause problems when trying to re-enter since it's basically an application denied stamp.
