How can I extend my stay in Thailand if I haven't secured my Non-B visa before my embassy letter expires?
Have my letter from embassy and now ready to apply for my extension at immigration Udon but it states in email that the letter can only be issued once. So if I haven’t secured my non b visa before the 30 days, how can I extend for longer to get my non b?

Something to remember, is once you are on the embassy letter, it's unknown if you can convert it to an extension of stay based on employment

why not?Benjamin ******

Because I'm not sure how the Thai government is viewing this stamp; if they are seeing it as a regular type of extension of stay that can be converted to other types, or of it's some type of other classification.

Yes it may greatly limit your choices in the future. Make sure to seriously question them about it before doing it.Kai *******

You have your Embassy letter...good once for possible 30 days if immigration grants your request.
What Non B visa are you seeking?
Beyond that ask immigration if any other options at that time.
Good Luck.
