TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for a letter from the embassy to obtain a 60-day extension in Thailand is not consistent. While some users suggest contacting your local immigration office to confirm whether it's needed, others report that the US embassy has indicated that such a letter is no longer required. Instead, if your embassy does not provide a letter, you can submit evidence (like an email from the embassy) stating that they do not issue such documents.

The US embassy responded that Thai immigration no longer requires a letter, and on the form there is a space for Embassy Cannot Provide Letter. I printed that response and presented it to IB and got under consid til 9 Dec then extension until Jan 30.

1. Ask your local immigration office if they require one. If yes go to 2, if no go to immigration without one.
2. Does your embassy provide one? If yes, get one and go to immigration with the letter. If no, get evidence that they do not (for example, email from embassy saying they don't provide letters, or a screenshot of embassy website saying they don't provide letters), Go to immigration with that evidence.
