Will Thailand extend the COVID extension for visas?

My bet is: Yes ... it is going to be extended yet again. Why? It was never a benevolent measure for those few people that actually were not able to get home (there we flights out of Thailand basically throughout the whole pandemic to almost all countries in the world). It was more an economically sensible measure, to provide a means for the large group of former border bouncers to remain longer than regularly visa would intend to. And while yes ... the time of its ending is likely nearer than before, even with some land borders opening now, there are still too many obstacles (especially on the Thailand side) for tourism and foreign spender numbers to get even close to what they were before. Thus, the (economic) incentive for COVID extensions remains. Having said that ... that is the thoughts of the ruling, educated class. The common immigration officer might be inclined to giving applicants an increasingly hard time. Meaning getting COVID extensions will get more difficult, especially for the less mentally gifted applicants, i.e. majority of foreigner around here. Well ... that was my guess. Thailand is always good for a surprise. So lets wait and see for two more days.

Ah Ah... Emergency period extented..So...24 of march at 11.59pm they ll let yu know...

I just paid 1900 baht for 2hrs of bolloxs and was told 2 come back friday for a covid extension but only 1 month though and nots 100% and under a lot of protest from the office as stated above you can come and go according too them so why do you need covid visa grrr other sources be your best option i think if i want to stay any longer

Good lord, just pay for a normal visa …

Even if they decide to extend it, every time more people will get denied their extensions.

Do not count on staying here on that extension for long term!

Place your bets here!!! Come right up!

Covid extension extended: 1-4 odds!

Minimum 16 baht!

They need to learn to live with it .Its not going anywhere

The decree is to keep the protestors off the streets prior to the election in May. Covid is coincidental.

Why would they? At these stage everyone is opening their borders. Even Myanmar has. No need for it anymore.

Time to go home.

I'm thinking 1 more time

CON VID

Oh same same questions every two months as soon as we know we will post.

But actually this time got doubts as they plan to classify covid as endemic within next couple of months

🥱

they just extended the state of emergency period. Which implies covid is still an emergency. Therefore, likely to be extended. BUT this is the same government that still can't decide Songkran should be water-free or not yet

Maybe until they finally accept we are at endemic.
