UK Embassy Covid letter

[darrendsd]

I am aware that there is a section on the new 60 day amnesty form that says Unable to get a Embassy Letter however when I last visited Immigration I was told that a letter is required

 

Emailed the UK Embassy last week but no letter as of yet

 

Not a major hassles as I won't be going to Immigration until next month but I was wondering if anyone here has already received a Covid extension letter from the UK Embassy issued after the 26th September?

The UK embassy website states they are no longer doing them.

The new 60 day extensions (not amnesty) do not require them. All that is needed is a completed and signed affidavit.

The reason the embassy letter was required for the 30 day extension due them them being done a under a clause of the immigration order that allowed them at the request of a embassy.

The 60 day extension is a new special one.
