The covid extension is a stop gap device to assist those who for one reason or another cannot travel to their home country. It's purpose has long expired, but immigration have kept it going for their own reasons. You have to look at what visa/extension you were on prior to getting the covid extension to ascertain if you can convert to any other visa. If you came in on tourist/exempt visa, your ability to remain longer is limited if the covid extensions are no longer issued after November 26. If you have something in mind perhaps state what that is and others can advise

Emma Tydeman-Ashton. There's no dodgy ED or volunteer visas being issued at this time. All the immigration heads have been moved around, so all bogus visas are on hold until the dust settles. I get the impression the OP needs something quickly

Shelley Louise. Which office?

Aaron Thomas Purser. "You take care me, I take care your money" 😆

Tod Daniels. Just got this right this minute from LA consulate

Patrick Sweeney. I don't know the exact reason, but I know many who have tried. Same goes for STV. Agents won't touch it. I guess there are some things which are "out of bounds"

Patrick Sweeney. Ok, so it's now too late to meet the financial requirement, so you're coming to the end of your stay. The covid extension will probably not be available in December, so I guess you've no choice but to leave and re-enter on a new visa, whatever that may be. Other than getting an ED visa I can't see any other option

Stephan Studtmann..First up, I can tell you categorically there is no agent in Thailand can change the OA to O (retirement), whether you like to think so or not, it's a fact. If you're on the OA extension you CAN change to O (married to a Thai). In due course the O (retirement) will also get an insurance requirement. It's coming. I buy a "useless" insurance for 7700 baht for twelve months, which I figure is cheap compared to flying to another country, and paying 4000 Baht for one night at a hotel whilst waiting for test results. But coming from a financial background, I base this on financial advantage only. Having lived in Thailand for many years, I long ago stopped looking for logic in immigration policies and procedures

Patrick Sweeney. To save 1900 baht for an in-country extension?
