2 A 60 day covid extension may be available, although this could be withdrawn before it is time to apply. Also it is supposedly for people unable to return home due to covid restrictions, although they have been granting them to people who could easily return home.

3 Doing an overland visa run is not practical at present due to border restrictions.

4 Dumping 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account for a couple of months allows anyone over 50 to apply for an O-B visa ?

Am I missing any options ?
The only other option that I'm aware of is for those who can arrange a minimum of 65,000 baht/month deposits in a Thai bank account when they retire which also satisfies the financial requirements. The problem with this is that the person would have to show 12 consecutive monthly deposits (1 year) before gaining approval.
