COVID-19 Visa Extension British Embassy Non-O Visa Visa Requirements Thai Immigration

ORIGINAL POSTER

It is my first time doing the covid extension and in a previous post it states that one of the items needed is a print out from my embassy stating they do not issue letters.

Please can someone provide an example of how they obtained such a print out. I'm British so I guess I'd be getting in touch with the British Embassy here in Thailand.

Was looking for a specific section on the Gov site? 

My current Non O visa runs out on 22nd October so just want to be prepared incase I need to wait back for this response from them?

Thanks again

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking guidance on how to obtain a printout from the British Embassy in Thailand, which confirms that they do not issue letters for COVID-19 visa extensions, as required for their Non-O visa application. Other community members provide insights that the UK consulate has not issued such letters since September 26, 2020, and suggest checking the UK government website for the necessary printout.

Some immigration offices require

A letter from your embassy saying you can not return, OR;

a print out from your embassy website saying they don’t issue the letters, OR;

a print out of a letter from the embassy saying they don't issue those letters.

(Note the OR's)

For people from the UK, go to

********************************************************************************

And search for COVID-19

This letter/ printout is NOT required for Bangkok Immigration.

Use the search bar in this group type in covid extension and read the many many posts about what you need to get the covid extension at the immigration office where you will go
