TLDR : Answer Summary

The amnesty for visa extensions in Thailand ended on October 31st. However, travelers who have had their passports stamped until the end of November must follow specific requirements to apply for an additional 60-day extension. If your embassy issues a letter stating you are unable to travel due to COVID-19, you must present that letter when applying. If not, you will need to provide proof that your embassy does not issue such letters, either through an email response or information from the consulate’s website.

The way it works is:

IF your embassy issues an "unable to travel due to covid" letter you need it when you go apply for a 60 day extension <- (that extension is what took the place of the free amnesty ;) )

BUT

IF your embassy doesn't offer the letter you need to either print the email they sent you saying they don't issue the letter OR a screen grab of the consulate website saying they don't issue the letter

If your embassy issues it you NEED another letter. There are no more "free until Dec 30" stamps. :/
