Hello,

I have visa extension with embassy letter unroll 30.11.20.

I am planning to extend my visa again this week. Do I need another letter? I read that you can extend for 60.

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

You do not need another embassy letter to extend your visa, as long as you have the initial letter valid until the specified date. It's necessary to complete the TM7 form and possibly an additional declaration stating your inability to travel. However, it's advisable to check with your local immigration office since they may have specific requirements.

No you don't need another embassy letter. You need to fill in the TM7 and this form.

I am not doubting what you experienced just that they shouldn't be charging you 3000 bht for an extension. It's outrageous.

In theory you don’t. There is an additional paper that you fill out saying you are unable to travel, or your embassy won’t issue a letter as well as the TM7 and copies of stuff. However each immigration office has their own rules. Probably better to ask yours directly.
