This measure was published in the Royal Thai Gazette. The grace period further extends the automatic visa extension that was first announced in late March due to Covid-related travel difficulties.
According to information on the website of the Thai Immigration, it was further possible to extend any visa with 60 days providing one applied before 1/11/2020.
