ORIGINAL POSTER

Received my 30 day extension today at Muathong Thani, obtained through an Australian embassy letter. They greeted me by name in the corridor today and then ushered me in. I waited for approximately 5 minutes before being handed back my passport. It’s empty and every one was super polite and friendly.

Edit....this was obtained after receiving an initial “ under consideration” stamp

and we're done. Thanx for the update.

ANYONE who wants to do this process needs to contact their embassy to see if they can get the letter.

What the embassy wrote on the document? What's the reason you can't go back to your country?

contact your embassy to see if they issue the letter. What another person got from their embassy has nothing to do with what your embassy letter would look like

ATTN MEMBERS: I don't want there to be any confusion about the way the system works

this poster had already went to the immigration office and applied for the 30 day extension using the embassy letter and they were issued an "under consideration" stamp that told them to return today to get the rest of their extension
