hello, i just called at the immigration Hotline, because I wanted to know, to which immigrarion in bkk I need to go for the 60 day covid extension. they told me to go to Mueang Thong Thani and that I need a paper from my embassy. I'm here on a 60 day tourist visa and extended the visa for 30 days last month. the 30 days run out on number 12.may. do I really need a paper from my embassy and I thought I have to go to chaengwattana?!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is seeking guidance on obtaining a 60-day COVID extension for their tourist visa. They received conflicting information regarding which immigration office to visit and whether a letter from their embassy is necessary. The community contributed insights stating that for a tourist visa, the Chaengwattana immigration office is typically the correct location, but different offices may have varying requirements, including paperwork from the embassy. The original poster intends to clarify these requirements as they navigate their extension.

If you entered on a tourist visa, you would go to Chaengwattna

> do I really need a paper from my embassy

For Bangkok immigration, you *MAY* be asked for it.

For the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19, you will need:

1. Your passport and:

a. a copy of your data ("picture") page

b. a copy of your most recent visa (if you have one)

c. a copy of your most recent stamp

d. a copy of your departure card

2. A TM30, filed in the immigration office.

3. The forms (each immigration office may have different forms) [note: For Bangkok immigration, these forms are posted in the FILES section of the group]

4. A letter from your embassy saying you can not return, OR a print out from your embassy saying they don’t issue the letters.

5. 2x passport pictures

6. 1,900 THB.

Different immigration offices have different policies. *SOME* may require:

- The ID card of the property owner where you are staying

- Copies of *ALL* stamped pages in your passport
