Ok thanks for the info. Yes, I think we will get some more experiences about the process soon and what they want. I've never done a covid extension yet cos my previous visa was STV and then I spent the summer back in Europe. I would imagine that they are more relaxed if it's my first extension. I do have an outbound flight but I moved it to next summer already. If a flight out of TH is really required, might book a cheap AirAsia or then move the date of the long haul flight.
