TLDR : Answer Summary

An Israeli expat currently holding a covid-19 extension (15+15 days) on a tourist visa in Thailand is seeking advice on the best long-term visa options that can be obtained without leaving the country. Suggestions include securing employment for a Non-B visa and looking into Thai Elite options, while also noting the challenges posed by the current situation due to COVID-19.

yeah, what we're not gonna do is leave this open for posters to run thru every permutation of possible visa/extension option available.

You have extremely limited options as it is and not to be mean spirited but possibly should have looked for a long term visa option BEFORE washing up here without one :O

Good Luck (y)

You look too young to qualify for any "retirement visa" and jobs may be few and far between for a while so perhaps you should look at Thai Elite

My prospective employer's lawyer (based in Surat Thani) told me yesterday that, with regards to the progress of my application, the labour office has closed until covid situation calms down. I interpret that as no option to process nonB at this time, or no option to process work permit at this time, or both.

You FIND a job, the employer gives you the documentation to either go to a thai consulate and get a Non-B OR to get the Non-B visa inside the country IF you meet the requirements at the immigration office you're applying at AND if you have enough time left on your current entry stamp.
