Dellamorte Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Does anyone know which countries' embassies give extension letters? From what I've heard, the following countries' embassies do give letters: - USA - Australia - Israel - Ukraine - UK (on case by case basis) Apparently not giving letters: - Belgium - Norway - Russia - China Any others?

Yahem Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Well Belgium certainly ain’t I got scammed by a visa company and ask for help so I can make a new visa with a legit company I have proof and police rapports ... they don’t even read the mails I think and just say no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 There are threads running specifically about letters from UK embassy. Mixed results. USA seem to have very simple easy process. One thing that I find really interesting is lack of reports from Oz folk. Given that flights to AU are difficult with the Au gov caps, I expected to see posts from Oz trying to obtain the letter.

Lee20 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 China is not giving letters. I will go to mtt tomorrow to apply extension though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJack54 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Just now, Olmate said: Oz give letters but you must be legit stuck I wonder what level of "stuck" is required. I imagine cancelled flights would be one. The problem with having a flight booked and paid for that does not mean your getting on a plane. Horror stories in Au news re flights from many parts of the world. Thing is I have not read one report from an Oz folk detailing their experience. Read plenty from US and UK etc. Seems for USA it's a walk in the park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the German embassy's website is written that generally no supporting letters are issued as commercial flights are operating. Same with Czech Republic.

anandra Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 As it was mentioned above, the Ukrainian embassy issues a letter for a 930 baht fee, the reason is high Covid 19 numbers in the country, 3 500 cases for last day with over 60 patients died. Also EU visa free entry was cancelled for the ukrainians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you like to gamble buying tickets without being worry about cancellation of your flight. At least 2 KLM flights have been cancelled recently, 90 days to wait for refund, long time to wait for their support respond, sure it is very easy to come back for the gamblers)) who can pay and pay for tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLM has been flying reliably daily. Even if they did cancel a flight, you could easily get rescheduled to the flight the next day. And as with any european airline, you will also be entitled to 600 euro compensation if the airline did not notify you 2 weeks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just check on their website about recently cancelled flights. Not all passengers book tickets 2 or three weeks before. By the way, yesterday a group of russians was not allowed to board Bangkok-Amsterdam -Minsk flight, even so far many of russian tourists has been successfully using this way of returning home. Until now. there is no clear explanation about the reason. So they do not need any voucher and what some of them got is refund in 90 days.

CLW Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 German embassy does now issue extension letter under these conditions: - you have already a Non-B or Non-O visa and would have to leave and re-enter the country in order to extend your visa - you are German national, currently in Thailand, but your usual country of residence is a Covid-19 high risk country 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
