TLDR : Answer Summary
A user from the UK inquires about which option to select for the Covid extension on their Thai visa application, asking whether to tick 'Unable to return' or 'Embassy can't provide letter for temporary stay'. Additionally, they seek clarification on the process for their online appointment, specifically whether to go straight to Counter J or show their appointment confirmation at the ticket point. Responses suggest that the choice of option is inconsequential, and it's advised to show the appointment email at the queue counter. However, some warn about the unpredictability of Counter J's handling of appointments.

BTW ...don't use your #1 point as Brits are returning to UK daily on flights from Bangkok

Unfortunately it seems like counter J is the most lackadaisical one when it comes to people who have appointments :/ I know of several people who made bookings only to be told to sit down and they'd be called when they're called :(

Please report back if you can and let people know how it went for you

Just checking; you did enter the country on a real tourist visa that you bought from a thai consulate in your country before you came here right?

doesn't matter to them at all what you tick on that form. Show the email of your appointment to the people at the queue counter
