What is the process and experience for extending a 30-day tourist visa in Krabi with a support letter from the UK embassy?
Hi everyone,
Anyone else gone into Krabi immigration for a 30-day extension using an embassy support letter? What was your experience?
I have a British passport; came into Thailand (March) on a 30 day tourist visa (on arrival) and have been on amnesty ever since.
I obtained a support letter from the UK embassy and went to Krabi immigration on Friday and received an "under consideration" stamp until 11th October.
The officer explained it as "I've given you 15 days...come back on the 11th Oct and apply for the other 15". I paid 1900 baht but foolishly forgot to get a receipt (wasn't given one). I'm not sure if I will have to pay again when I go back for the other 15.
Has anyone had a similar experience?

Okay, at this time IF you get an under consideration letter and you go back on that date you will get the extension dated from the 27th of Sept and taking you until Oct 26.
THERE ARE NO CONFIRMED REPORTS of anyone being denied the 30 day extension. Everyone who has the under consideration stamp has gotten the extension when they went back.
I think we're done, good luck, to the O/P

according to the rules, you will be given the 30 days starting from September 27 as day number one. IF your application gets approved. IF they find out that you indeed can return to your home country, your application will be denied and you need to leave Thailand

You have your UNDER CONSIDERATION stamp.
Be sure to return to immigration on date requested.
No added fees at that time.
Good Luck.
