Will Covid extensions for visas in Thailand be indefinite or is there a timeline for their end?

when they open the borders.

They're going to have a chat about the emergency decree on the 10th September. May or May not affect the covid extension,

Most of the people on Covid extensions these days are not tourists. Most have lived here for ages and got caught out with the borders closing. Many don’t have “homes” to go back to as their home is here. Why weren’t they on a correct visa that allows them to live here? They were. Many were on year long “marriage” visas that required a border bounce every 90 days. Some were on business visas with the same requirement. I don’t see those on that extension as “milking” the system. They were using the system as intended but Covid caught them out. My personal opinion is that they will keep the extensions going until borders are open again and those that “need” to do border bounces can do so once again. But that’s just my opinion. We’ll just have to wait and see what they actually do.

Yeah bring back visa runs! They were fun and I'm not being sarcastic either 😅

When Borders open up Covid extensions will end.

Enjoy while you can 🙏

Immigration officials the country over are already looking at people who have been here since before the lock down, first on the amnesty, then the embassy letter extension and now the covid extensions with a critical eye

AND

more than a few offices are telling people, this is is, you're done after this extension <- meaning it's time to find a visa OR go back to where you came from.

Then there are are offices that are really giving people a lot of hoops to jump thru to get another covid extension.

The current program is set to run out on Sept 27th. They normally announce that the program is continued a few days before (although last time they announced it 2 weeks ahead of it running out)

All you can do is watch the news like everyone else. It'll be on every thai related group and forum if/when they announce it's continued after the 27th. 😛

You'ra all wrong. They will stop the extensions, when it is possible again to leave and return from/to Thailand again. That includes somewhat regular air traffic schedules and a border opening for most neighbouring states.

Indefinite I doubt it but hope they at least keep them going for sometime until borders fully open without restrictions.

All answers are speculation, guessing they will end when tourist numbers start going up again

I wouldn't be surprised if they're gone by the end of the year on the basis they're talking about opening up more and more over the next month or so.

Either way, they're not going to be indefinite.

Covid extensions will stop when covid stops restricting travel.
