TLDR : Answer Summary
An Indian national living in Thailand is facing difficulties renewing their NON-O visa, alleging that the immigration officer claims Indians are considered part of a blacklist country. The officer is reportedly demanding a bribe of 20,000 THB to process the visa renewal, a practice the individual experienced before. Community responses suggest ways to address this issue, including speaking to other officers, filing complaints, and exploring legal advice.
