  1. I am very confused about what a "COVID extension" is. I was recently diagnosed with COVID-19 on my would be exit SARS-CoV-2 test. As per my Thailand Pass, my visa was expiring on the next day because that was my planned travel date. My hotel kicked me out to a piece of <deleted> Thai "hospitel" as soon as a bed opened on Day 3 of my isolation. It was a miserable experience. My original hotel told me that 1) I could no longer use an agency (or a friend) to extend my visa because rules had changed requiring showing up face to face. 2) That I would "probably" have to pay 500 baht a day for each day of my overstay. At the airport they said, yep, 5,000 THB please. I said, isn't there some exception? I can show you the paperwork that I was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection the day before my visa expired. They said very clearly that the COVID visa exension ended 31 December 2021... please pay. Can someone explain what this extension actually was for and how people are still getting extended? Was it meant for people who were infected and had to overstay their visa or is it just a random extension because there is COVID? Did it end on 31 December or not? I am completely miffed. Thanks.
