Hi I’m from Singapore, currently in Thailand, Chanthaburi, on a 60 day Tourist Visa, came in on 26 May. My visa ends on 24 July. 

I enquire at Chanthaburi Immigration stated that the 60 Covid Extension is only applicable when I have used my normal 30 day visa extension. So I would need to apply for 30 days first then if by the time 60 days covid extension is still available, then I’m able to apply for it. 

I’ve gotten hold on TM7 and TM30 which I need to submit upon extension of visa. 

TM 7 requires me to state my reason of extension. What reasons would normally be accepted?

Answer summary

A person currently holding a 60-day Tourist Visa in Thailand seeks advice on acceptable reasons for extending their visa using the TM7 form. They have been informed by local immigration that they need to first apply for a 30-day extension before being eligible for the 60-day COVID extension. Commenters suggest reasons that can be cited for the TM7 form, like tourism purposes.

On the TM7, you would write "30 day extension of stay based on tourism"
