TLDR : Answer Summary

To extend your visa by the May 24th deadline, whether you need a letter from your embassy depends on the specific immigration office you are dealing with. Some offices may require a letter or a refusal to provide one, while others may not ask for either.

That will depend on the office you use. Some require either a letter or a refusal to provide one. Some don’t ask for either.

I picked up a one month covid extension today, did the paperwork a couple of weeks ago and was under "consideration"

I checked off the box "embassy doesn't provide letter" and got my stamp today.

But yes, I think it depends on who you get. I had a multiple entry visa from back home, valid till the

****

so could technically have left the country, gotten new Thai Pass and come back for 2 more months but with the world as it is, I cut my losses and settled for one month and my 2nd covid extension (2 months and now one more month)

Best of luck

yes. Some immigration offices will require either a letter or a refusal to provide one. If you say which office out of the 70+ around the country you may use then someone with experience of that office maybe able to confirm whether they require one or not.
