TLDR : Answer Summary

The user has a 60-day visa extension due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is inquiring about possible visa options after this period, specifically regarding switching to an education (Ed) visa for a language course. Responses suggest that obtaining an Ed visa is feasible but recommend starting the application process soon, ideally with at least 30 days remaining on the current visa.

I recommend waiting until April to see what the options are.

no one yet knows if they will extend this date. Probably won’t announce anything until a couple of days prior. But they have extended it twice already and as borders are still closed will probably do it again. Just speculation of course so no guarantees.

Yes you can. You can apply on the last week of March, and can stay until the last week of May.

You should be able to obtain an Ed visa. But you need to start the application process soon as you’ll need at least 30 days left on your current stamp
