TLDR : Answer Summary
For a COVID extension in Thailand, you need to prepare the following documentation: 1) Your passport with copies of the data page, recent visa, recent stamp, and departure card; 2) A TM30 form filed at immigration; 3) Specific forms as required by your local immigration office; 4) A letter from your embassy indicating you cannot return or a printout showing they don’t issue letters; 5) Two passport-sized photos; 6) A fee of 1,900 THB. Note that requirements may vary by immigration office.

Oh interesting. Does anyone know if CM requires an actual email from Canadian embassy? I'm assuming they aren't doing letters.

email your embassy and ask them IF they issue the letters or not. IF they say they don't take that email with you

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, and may require their special forms)

4. A letter from your embassy saying you can not return, OR a print out from your embassy website saying they don’t issue the letters, OR a print out of a letter from the embassy saying they don't issue those 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
