Why would they extend it? The intent was to boost tourism and I doubt there was any real impact. People who want to stay longer term have plenty of options, the 45 day VE was a nice convenience for them but I doubt it made a difference in tourism $$. Also they are on track to be fully recovered covid by 2024.

How far in advance should a Canadian apply for a 60-day tourist visa to Thailand?
Craig *******
@Mike *****
 well I wonder if they would accept just a proposed booking - like a screen shot of the flights just before you press "purchase". Or you could upload a doc that just says, "my intended flights are as follows". But don't if they would accept.

 I think so, I think it asked to upload the flight booking, but not sure if flights need to be booked

What are the current 'Pre Check-in' requirements for Air Asia flights?
Craig *******
@Elly ******
 ya I had no checked luggage, but even if you do it's a good idea to check-in on line because the bag drop line is usually much quicker than full check-in. It also eliminates being questioned about POOT.

Do online check-in.....you then go straight to security when you arrive at the airport. I flew Bkk-Lpq recently and the check-in line was massive. I saved at least an hour by checking in online
