email address for US citizens to get embassy letter in Hua Hin: acsbkk@state.gov
I would like to share my experience with the COVID extension in Prachuat Khiri Khan or Hua Hin as an American in the hopes that it might help someone else.
I went to immigration early just to ask what documents were needed for the visa extension (from TR +30 days to COVID) and got a form that asked for the following:
TM.7
-One Photograph
-copy of passport
-Letter from embassy
-1900 baht
Proof of address:
for hotel:
-letter of confirmation for hotel
-Hotel booking
Renting house or condo:
-rental agreement
-copy of lessor's ID card and copy of lessor's house book
-copy of house book from where you rent
If a foreigner owns the property:
- copy of house book
- Copy of Title deed
I went to immigration with:
- TM.7
- STM2 (they did not seem to require this)
- COVID specific document (in the files here) (was not required)
screenshot of online TM30 (was not required)
- lease agreement for the condo that included a copy of the owners passport and a copy of the original purchase.
- and a print out of a FAQ from the US embassy website stating they do not provide letters
The reaction I got was all the documents were acceptable aside from the printout of the website saying the embassy doesn't provide letters. I was told I would need a printout of the email response.
After some digging I found the emergency contact email for the US embassy ( acsbkk@state.gov ) and got an automated response that was almost identical to the FAQ I printed before. I went back to immigration with that and it was accepted and I now have a stamp that I need to return on September 22.
