Hi everyone, I’m in Thailand on a TR visa and already got a 30 day extension. Next week I wanna try my luck at BKK immigration and ask for the COVID extension. Does anyone know which counter you have to choose when you book your appointment online?
I talked to immigration on the phone today and two different officers told me that you need a letter from the embassy recommending you to stay in Thailand as the situation there would be better than back home. I emailed my embassy (German) today and asked for it. But knowing my folks I doubt they’ll do it. Has anyone gotten an extension without such letter? Cheers!
