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.
