Fasted turn around you've seen for getting a tourist visa online (from USA)?

Hi, I am U.S citizen, I plan to apply for Non O visa in Thailand soon, I had rental income go into U.S bank account with Zelle every month and want to use a monthly income method for Visa application. Does USA Embassy in Thailand provide affidavit of income as proof at this time?

Has anyone from the U.S. been able to get a 60 day extension recently without an embassy letter? As I understand it, the U.S. embassy is not issuing letters anymore, but we were told at Chaengwattana today that we would still need one next time.

Okay, I don't know how new this information is, as I've been regularly checking the American Embassy page for how I could get another letter so that I could extend my visa, but from what was posted today, if I'm reading this message correctly, you can no longer get letters from the American embassy, but can get a 60 day visa directly from immigration (for a fee that they haven't specified on the website). Here is the info I screenshot from the U.S. Embassy in Thailand dated today:

Returning home to the U.S. holds very little appeal right now, and I definitely recall reading our embassy would not issue letters to apply for extension at immigration. Now it's a very painless online process to request a letter, and the auto-response says it will reply in two days after the application. I don't have high hopes for actually getting the extension w/out strong reason to be "unable to return" for health reasons or lack of flights, but I hope to try this week. See here for the site:

Per the email I received from the U.S. embassy yesterday, I visited immigration at Muang Thong Thani for a second day in a row.

Has anyone been successful with step one from the U.S. Embassy email sent yesterday, the one about getting a stamp just to 26 September? (Was this email discussed in this group?)

I returned to Muang Thong Thani today, left and went to the police station and replaced my lost Tm6 (departure card), returned and filled out forms and made copies, glued on my visa photo, signed a bunch of things as directed... then got sent away with a vague, somewhat annoyed directive to come back Monday or after.

So there’s obviously some details missing from the embassy’s email. I didn’t get stamped to 26 September today and I was asked repeatedly for the embassy letter (which I did have but embassy email stated was not required for stamp to 26 September).

I honestly don’t know what I’ll get on Monday. If it’s only a stamp till 26 September, I’ll feel a tad burned. 😕

The embassy made it seem like getting the stamp to pave the way to pursue a longer term visa would be easier than my experience.

No way, no how should I pay 1,900 baht and only get a stamp to 26 September, right?

Am I getting jerked around? No one could give me a good answer. I speak very little Thai and no one at immigration today spoke much more English than my Thai.

Any guidance or a clue on this? Pictures show stamps on my extension form.
