Did Americans successfully use the US Embassy letter for a 30-day extension in Thailand?

How do we do the work permit? That’s the problem, Labour department is not issuing the WP saying there is no exit from the country

I went to Chaengwattana this morning with our local sponsor. We brought the US Embassy letter & another letter brought by my sponsor, I’ll send a snapshot later. We got a hard stamp for the 26th of August. We were told to come back nearing that date & use the extension given by US Embassy. We also went to Muang Thong Thani for our 90 days report & got that too..

What you have to realize is there are two completely different things going on. ONE is getting OFF the no stamp amnesty and getting a hard stamp until the 26th so you can apply for an in country Non-Imm visa <- doing that is FREE

The other is using the embassy letter that says you can't travel after the 26th of Sept so you can apply for the 30 day embassy request extension. <- doing that is 1900baht and you get a 14 day under consideration stamp dated from the date you apply for the 30 day extension (meaning you're just wasting the extension applying now and should wait until closer to amnesty running out)

They are NOT the same things not at all

The ONLY people who I have seen (in Bangkok) go from the no stamp amnesty to the "hard stamp" stay until amnesty is over until the 26th were people who had paperwork in hand to apply for an in country Non-Immigrant visa of some type.

I believe a one “Ketrina Hoskin” who is a member of this group posted yesterday that she is attempting to obtain a hard stamp today with this letter. I don’t believe She has posted anything yet today.

ATTENTION MEMBERS: this thread is NOT about "can I go back to the USA or not" :( so STOP saying they can leave. This thread is about if anyone has used the ACS embassy letter to get an "unable to travel due to covid 19" 30 day extension since they reversed their "we're not issuing the letter" stance and started doing it again.

At this time there are almost no reports of successful applicants using the US embassy letter to get a 30 day extension. That's because most offices are just sending people with it away saying to apply closer to amnesty running out.

Believe me I KNOW that the amnesty states that extensions will be dated from the 27th of Sept but offices are dating them effective the date you apply so it's not making sense for anyone to apply NOW seeing as a 30 day extension dated to day would only take you until the end of Sept (a few days after amnesty runs out).

I think you're gonna hafta wait some and apply closer to amnesty running out OR at least that's what it seems like
