What Is the Process for USA Passport Holders to Obtain a Visa Extension Letter in Thailand?
Update for USA passport holders - I received a generic letter from the embassy, which I responded saying Thai immigration wants personalized letters - I haven't received an actual letter yet, but I received this e-mail from the embassy today: Thai Immigration requires foreign travelers to request an extension letter from their respective embassies. If you are unable to return to the U.S. and require a visa extension letter, please scan a copy of the biodata page of your passport and send to [acsbkk@state.gov](mailto:acsbkk@state.gov). Please ensure that your name, picture, and passport number are clearly readable. Due to the volume of requests please allow up to 72 hours for a copy of your extension letter. Every effort is being made to issue them as soon as possible.
Answer summary
USA passport holders facing challenges in returning to the U.S. can now request a personalized visa extension letter from the U.S. embassy in Thailand. They need to send a scanned copy of their passport's biodata page to the embassy, allowing up to 72 hours to receive their extension letter.
