I'm going to go do my COVID extension tomorrow. My TR visa 30-days extension ends on 16 May. It's my first time.

1) But I heard that some letter from the embassy is required... What is it? What package of documents is required in general?

2) Where is the address for COVID extension?

3) Do I need to pre-register online?

Thank you very much. Maybe the questions are simple, but for me this is all the first time

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking information regarding their first COVID extension for their TR visa, specifically asking about required documents such as a letter from the embassy, the location for applying for the extension, and whether pre-registration is necessary. Responses indicate that the need for an embassy letter may vary based on immigration office and nationality, and suggest that generally at least some form of communication from the embassy may be needed. Users also pointed out the relevant immigration office to apply for the extension.

If you need the letter from your embassy seems to depend on the immigration office and your nationality so far. And also it seems to be changing from time to time. The best is to be ready for that.

You don’t need an embassy letter.

If it's your first application for Covid extension, the extension MIGHT be start on that day of application, not add to your current extension. Be ready for that.

Do you mean if I apply on 07.05 then the extension will start from 07.05? Not from 16.05 (when my tourist visa expires)?

But the last day they are selling the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 is May 29

Yes, I know that. Maybe it makes sense for me to go on 12 or 13 May. But not 07 May.

>1) But I heard that some letter from the embassy is required... What is it? What package of documents is required in general?

Generally, yes. You will need either:

A. A letter from YOUR embassy saying you can't return (e-mail is ok) OR;

B. An e-mail from your embassy saying they don't issue the letters saying you can't return OR;

C. A screenshot from your embassy's website saying they don't issue the letters.

>2) Where is the address for COVID extension?; 3) Do I need to pre-register online?

What immigration office?

Did you enter on a 60 day tourist visa, or a 45 day visa exempt?
