A letter from the applicant's embassy OR a doctor's certificate and take it to your local Immigration office:

 

 

What does the third point "Notification of residence" mean?  Something to do with owning a home or renting a property?

When would you be planning to use the letter? If you use it now, and they give you a 30-day extension to late June/early July, it will just be a waste of time and 1,900 baht (I think you would still be OK until July 31 though). If you use it around July 31st, I assume the letter would be out of date.

I was planning to use it around end of July, but yes, my fear is that it might be out of date by then.  Though the date on the letter is April 20th, I could request for another one closer to the date to make it more valid.

Thank you for answering BritTim!

Assuming you were legally in Thailand as of March 28th 2020, there is no need to visit immigration to request an extension. You are automatically extended until 31st July 2020. No stamp in your passport is needed to prove your right to the extension.

I understand this.  The extension to July 31st is something I do qualify for.

My question is if I were to use this letter, could it push me out to August 30th?

I have a letter from my embassy that they said would help me to extend my visa by 30 days, given the current situation.  The letter does not specify 30 days exactly; it only states that they do not object to me applying for visa extensions as a result of "disruptions to travel" caused by the pandemic.

Would this extension apply to my visa's date of expiry?  Or could it possibly apply to the extended date of July 31st?

A bit too hopeful, I know.
