Do I need a letter from my embassy to extend my visa in Thailand by the May 24th deadline?

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.
