What documents do I need for an extension of amnesty with an embassy letter while transitioning to a NON-B visa in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTER
I’m on amnesty. A school would like to hire me, but I need my diploma certified before they can do so. In order to acquire the time required for all that, my school has suggested I apply for an extension with an Embassy letter and then transfer to a non-b when I’ve got it certified. I’m an American citizen in Bangkok.

What else do I need aside from the letter? Is this even possible? I’ve been hearing mixed answers. Thanks all.

To get the US consulate unable to travel due to covid letter you go to this link, then you click the Entry and Exit Requirement and there is a link in that section that has a google form that you fill out and they will email you the embassy letter in about 24 hours

Where you'll go to get the extension of the amnesty depends on what visa you used to enter Thailand. I'm attaching a flyer from Thai immigration on which location to use. If you need to use Muang Thong Tani, may need to make an appointment using this link here:

I don't see any reason why this needs to be left open. If there are questions, send a mod a message.

However, to get the extension of amnesty using the embassy letter, you'll need the following documents:

1. Your passport.

2. Copies of: (sign each page)

a. Data ("picture") page

b. A copy of the page with visa exempt stamp

c. A copy of the departure card

d. A copy of embassy letter

e. A copy of your entry stamp

3. ONE passport photo (only handed one photo. Others have said 2 is needed. )

4. 1,900 THB fee (be sure to hand it separate from you stack of papers or they will drop it.)

5. A form acknowledging the overstay penalty. They will provide this.

6. TM 7

[If using MTT and not CW] 7. Proof of an appointment booking online

I hear they have certain qualifications before they will issue a 30 day. Such as a doctors note or whatever. Is this true? Or can you just go to the U.S. embassy and get an extension without the need for such things?
