Hey Everyone,
So my visa extension has been denied once more. The hotel i stayed at is maintaining they cannot issue the document that i quarantined there, and the immigration office will not extend my visa without it. I am currently on the STV. I have a couple of more things i can try to do, but i think its best i create a plan B and C. My visa expires on Jan 28th. Im canadian and my original plan was to stay here until end of July.
1) can i change to another visa instead, and if so, what is the longest i can extend my stay in thailand for?
2) is there a way to go to cambodia, or another birdering country and then re-enter thailand? Im assuming that would mean going to phuket and quarantining for 7 days.
Thanks to all in advance. You're all a great help and providing a really good service on here during covid times.
