LATER DEADLINE FOR 60-DAY ‘COVID VISA’ EXTENSIONS

The deadline to apply for a 60-day visa Covid extension has been extended to July 29, now allowing stays up until late-September.

The extensions are intended for foreigners who are unable to leave Thailand and return to their home country due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation. The deadline to apply has been extended by the Thai Immigration Bureau several times, typically announced at the last minute. The previous deadline was May 29.

The 60-day visa extension program was launched late last year to allowing foreigners to stay in Thailand due to the global Covid-19 situation and limited international flights.

The extension can be granted if:

A foreigner cannot return to their home country due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

There are no return flights available.

The foreigner has a letter from their embassy requesting temporary stay.
