thank you so much for your help.

thanks. You mean to physically go to any SE country and apply from there?

like a charm. Actually they didn't even look at the email, they just wanted it.

I'm not taking anything in any way. If we are all here discussing is because there are grey areas, at least to some of us. I just commented on the tones used in here which, btw, I accept since the group is not mine and I'm simply a "guest", yet this does not prevent me from pointing that out.

I asked my Thai gf to translate what's in that announcement: "Apply to extend all visa (Apply from now til 26 Sep) the next visa will be start from 27 Sep."

You might be right, however, this statement doesn't say ANYTHING in terms of embassy letter required to do that. Yes, there are previous announcements saying that, but to me, sorry, it is not yet clear to which extent this last announcement replaces or adds to the previous one.

This said, I (again) appreciate all the information you shared in here however, to me, what

@Tod ********

I have none in fact, because I wanted to avoid receiving feedback like this.
