So it's only for tourist visa? No chance for volunteer + covid extension?

Do you have an article or something with more info on this? I would love to learn more

I have to add, I have a Russian passport, and I just saw that Thai government is trying to help Russians stranded in the kingdom... so maybe this might be an option for me. But my situation has honestly nothing to do with the war.. so thank you ubonjoe & BritTim for giving helpful advice. It gives me peace of mind and hopefully I can get my affairs in order and leave before 90 days overstay. PS: I do not like what the Russian president is doing, I am against any kind of WAR, it is a horrible situation. NO TO WAR.

I have found myself in the situation of being "stuck" in Thailand as I'm unable to leave. I don't have enough money left to do a "visa run" and I cannot return to my home country due to other reasons. My embassy cannot help me in this case. I have not broken the law in any country, but now I am facing having to go on overstay, as I cannot afford a visa or to leave the country at the moment. It is absolutely my fault, I am not blaming anyone else that I'm in this situation, but I also have no other choice. My question is, will immigration go after me, and if so how much time would I have to get my <deleted> together? I was here on volunteer visa + covid extension, and I have filed 90 day reports with my address, so it's in their system, they can easily track me down. Question is, are they going to do it? I understand the thai overstay law, and that if I get caught I will be put in the detention center until I can pay the fine and ticket to be deported. How much time do you think I have after my current expires? I've read in the news people overstaying for many years, but they are usually on tourist visas, so no 90 day report filed? I am not asking for advice on how to break the law, but my current situation does not offer me any alternative. My embassy doesn't want to help and COVID made visa runs too expensive for me to afford. I would just like to know if and when I can expect the cops to show up at my door and drag me to jail lol.
