@Carlos ********
I was in Phuket in January, nobody asked me for my vaccination certificate.

You would not get a 7 day extension; you would receive a 7 day extension of stay denied stamp. This stamp begins on the day you receive the stamp, and is not added on to your existing "admitted to" stamp.

All immigration offices require the same thing for a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism:

1. The applicant’s passport and a copy of:

a. The data “picture” page.

b. The most recent visa (if applicable).

c. All entry stamps or extension of stay (if applicable) since arrival.

d. The departure card (“TM 6”) that should be stapled in the passport.

2. The extension of stay application form (“TM 7”).

3. A copy of the submitted Notification of Residence of Foreigners form ("TM 30”).

4. 2x passport sized (4cm by 6cm) photos.

5. 1,900 THB processing fee.

@Gareth *******
If you're an American, you will use that Affidavit from the US Embassy saying you live in Thailand, and you live at whatever address (it costs $50 USD). If you are not an American, ask your embassy for more information.

Try the Bangkok Bank in Centralworld (first floor). They only need a residency certificate issued by your embassy, and a 1,500 THB opening deposit (along with your passport)

how about telling us what part of Thailand you're located?

The right for you to enter Thailand is from the local Thai consulate. They would be the one to contact.

The immigration office and the consulates do not communicate with each other what-so-ever.

So you didn't actually ask them what they expect for that letter? My opinion is to contact the consulate and ask them what should be on the contents of the letter
