Has anyone come across this problem yet. According to immigration, affidavits have to be given now to prove that the passport holder and person named on a degree certificate are the same. It seems the British embassy will not do affidavits for this. Although they called it an affidavit at the time. They gave a letter which Thai immigration will not accept. Trying to convert a 60 day tourist visa into a non b here, which has always been possible. Any ideas how to fix this without having to go back to the U.K. for a non. b there?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is experiencing difficulties converting a 60-day tourist visa into a Non-B visa in Thailand due to a discrepancy in the name on their degree certificate. Thai immigration requires affidavits to prove the identity of the passport holder and degree holder, but the British embassy has refused to provide an affidavit, instead issuing a letter that immigration does not accept. Various solutions have been suggested, including obtaining a new degree certificate from the university or going out of Thailand to apply for a Non-B visa from a nearby country.
