Read back previous post in the forum. Not going to waste my time searching all the postings just to prove my point. Anyway it's not my problem if someone is expecting the covid extension would be approved because somebody here said they give it to EVERYONE. For that person sake, I hope it is approved but if it doesn't, good luck with that.

Nope they didn't. Quite a number of covid extension applications were rejected before and there were many people posted about their experiences on fb.

@Billie-Joe *******
it may be available but it is at the discretion of the officer to approve or reject the extension.

The country already opened up for awhile now. I doubt they will give Covid extension anymore.

When a job is officially offered to you, then you can apply for a WP with supporting documents from the company.

Yea but if you caught the covid bug and becomes quite ill, you will be admitted to hospital and in Thailand, everything is double pricing. One for local and another for foreigner. I can't imagine insurance would be very costly, no? I just bought my travel insurance which has covid coverage for 30 days in Thailand for MYR85 (USD19).

Get the pass to be safe. Even if Thailand pass is not required anymore, do get insurance that covers covid treatment overseas if you can because medical fee for foreigner admitted to hospitals in Bangkok due to covid could be in the region of 500k baht or more, depends on how serious the case is.

Don't just think about getting caught without license. The bigger issue is when you're involved in an accident. Not those small ones that can be settled with cash. Those big ones that involves tow truck, police and insurance companies.

Just because it doesn't happen to you, doesn't mean it won't happen to someone else. You might be very careful when on the road but you are sharing the road with other drivers that might not be as careful as you.
