ORIGINAL POSTERHi folks can anyone tell me the updated documents needed to apply for the covid 19 letter from the USA embassy and quick the turn around time has been recently for the letter?? My 30 day visa extension expires on may 7!! I'm assuming there will be an announcement still on apr 26 concerning the next steps of the thai govt??? Thanks y'all for the great work and service you provide here!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The US Embassy has stopped issuing COVID-19 letters, and the amnesty valid until April 30 allows for a safe return without this document. The user's 30-day visa extension will expire on May 7, and it is advised to assume that is the last day in Thailand unless further extensions are available.

The US Embassy no longer issues the COVID letter.
The extension received to April 30 was to give you time to book flight return to the US.
What happens April 30 is anyone's best guess.
Your permission to stay is May 7.
Take care...stay safe.

No, the amnesty that exist until April 30th supersedes this letter.
>My 30 day visa extension expires on may 7
Then your last day here in Thailand, *FOR NOW*, is May 7th.
>I'm assuming there will be an announcement...
Never assume! I would assume your last day to be in Thailand is May 7th, assuming you didn't get a 30 day extension of stay based on being a tourist (assuming that extension of stay is still being sold after April 30th).
The US Government wants all citizens to return home. So, I recommend following the US Government's advice and go home.
