TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Covid extension at the Chalermprakiat Government Complex, you will generally need to bring several important documents. These typically include your passport and its copies (data page, recent visa, recent stamp, and departure card), a completed TM30 form, and the necessary application forms specific to the immigration office. It is also advisable to have two passport photos and a fee of 1,900 THB. Some offices may require additional documentation such as an ID card from your property owner or copies of all stamped passport pages. It's recommended to check the specific requirements for your immigration office as they may vary. Additionally, be prepared for a potentially long wait time, as reported by other applicants.

@Benjamin *****
that would be better but what are you guys telling your embassy so they issue a letter that you arent able to return?

@Raphie ***
where are you from? Do you know if your countries embassy issues the letter? Immigrantion told me if you bring an email from the embassy saying they don't issue letters that will suffice.

Will you be using the same immigration office? Different immigration offices have different requirements.

Different immigration offices have different requirements, but all require the following:

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)

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

@Benjamin *****
it’s the government office near don meng, or would you suggest a different office.

I thought that letter was no longer required from your embassy?
Bobby ********
Gordon Millar. That's Chaeng Wattana office. Are you sure that's the correct one?

I’m not sure at all it’s not the one I went for my TR extension. That was correct for TR and no problems, Covid extension is different ?
