TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking guidance on obtaining a 60-day Covid extension visa while in Thailand, having already utilized a 45-day visa exemption and a 30-day extension. The issue arises from the user’s embassy not providing the required letter for Thai immigration. Community comments suggest that a letter may not be needed for most immigration offices and recommend contacting the embassy for a denial letter if necessary. Others discuss the process of obtaining both regular and Covid extensions, with varying advice on the current policies and procedures.

Do you need Covid test & covid incurance to extend for 30 days ?

so is it okay to go on the 45 day visa exemption and get both the regular and covid extensions? So 45+30+60 days? Anyone know if you can do that?

If they extend you can enter now on 45. Get the 30 extra. Then say Covid I can not go home and get an extra 60? Really? WOW!

the 45 + 30 is fine. The Covid extension option currently runs out on March 30th. Whether this date will be extended is anyone’s guess. Most think it will until borders open again but it’s not guaranteed.

no it hasn’t. If you apply before/on March 30th you’d get stamped until the end of May.

Actually, so far I don't need an extension or anything like that, but I was wondering, which embassy is relevant Polish or British for issuing such a letter if I'm a permanent UK resident with a polish passport? :O

@Tomasz *********

it would be the embassy of your passport. It’s irrelevant where you normally reside.

For MOST immigration offices you don’t need a letter. Some require proof that your embassy won’t issue them. If that’s the case write to your embassy and ask. When they email you a denial print that and use it when applying.
