Immigration says it’s better to get letter from British embassy to prove I’m getting state pension, I phoned British embassy and asked could they give me a letter, The Woman on the phone said they have nothing to do with pensions.

Any ideas what to do now

Any SCB or UOB branches in bangkok that allows foreigners to open a bank? (Tourist Visa)

Friend has -Embassy letter -Rental contract

Has anyone been rejected from Covid visa extension?

Hi all. So for covid extension do I need letter from embassy or plane ticket? Along with other documents? Thanks in advance:)💛

Hi guys, what are the currently needed documents needed for Covid extension? I cannot find any information or Tweets, nothing. Some old articles mentioned something about letter from embassy - is it still a requirement and if so, do I have to get it in person?

Someone posted this in another group when getting their non-o visa on covid extension. Are these requirements added to the regular 30 day extensions on TR60 and visa exempt entries?

Or is it business as usual on those? Seems excessive for an extension on a 30 days visa that most people explore and move around the whole country with.

Report from Koh Samui:

Task: extension based on embassy letter, after non-o + a few covid extensions.

Passports: 1 Ukrainian, 1 russian.

Documents needed (TWO of each):

- TM7

- STM

- Acknolewdgement of overstay penalties

- copy of 1st passport page and all pages with current stamps/visas. Strictly horizontal on A4 (specifically states that).

- copy of TM6

- letter from embassy

- printout from Google Maps showing house location and coordinates (longtitude and latitude)

- TM30

- photo

For russian passport, have to bring original letter + 1 copy (since you get those letters in person). For Ukrainian passport, in addition to letter printout (letters are sent by email by consulate) they also asked for a printout of actual email text translated into English via Google Translate.

Process was super tiresome, probably 10x longer than covid extension - we came at 8:35 with all forms already filled in and all documents ready (except for those extra printouts), spent 2.5 hours.

Got under consideration stamp for 17 days (April 4th).

Hello, is it possible to get an extension of stay with a letter from the embassy in a case when all the relief flights are fully booked to avoid paying overstay ? Thank you in advance

I am on TR-15 visa and I can get a letter from my embassy. Am I qualified for the COVID extension? I am confused because the immigration announced that they wouldn’t extend for people who are on TR-15(visa on arrival) any more. Many thanks for answering~

Hi good people!

We are a couple trying to apply for the 60-day covid visa extension in Kanchanaburi. They say we need a specific letter from the embassy, but our embassy cannot/will not make this letter. We did the same visa extension two months ago (in Pai) and they never asked for any letter. We were hoping someone could tell us if they changed the regulations or if it is just this office that are more strict? Because we are considering going to another immigration to apply... we are desperate to not leave Thailand already 😅
