Hi, I went to the immigration office in Bangkok to extend my stay for another 30 days to finish my internship. I have a Non-B visa, and they told me I need to bring a "certificate and request for extension of stay from the embassy". I spoke with the embassy, and they said they don't issue that and no one has ever asked them for it. Did anyone encounter this or know what to do?
Summary so far
The user is seeking help after being informed at the Bangkok immigration office that they need a 'certificate and request for extension of stay from the embassy' to extend their Non-B visa. However, the embassy states they do not issue such certificates. A comment indicates that extensions for Non-B visas, especially for internships, are generally not possible, suggesting that the user may need to leave Thailand and apply for a new visa.

There's no such thing as a 30 day extension on a non-B visa. Your only option is a 1-year extension based on work if you have a non-B visa. People on internships generally cannot get extensions and have to leave Thailand to get a new visa.
