What should I do if my Non-O visa has wrong company names and the Thai embassy in Mumbai won't help?

Non-O Visa Thai Immigration Visa Issues Embassy Assistance Visa Appeal Process Ministry of Foreign Affairs

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, is there any kind of immigration appeal center where I can go to sort out my visa issues. The problem is that 2 out of 3 Non O visas were issued with wrong company name in India and the officials at immigration in Bangkok are refusing to help. 

Me and my kids arrived last month with the 3 month Non-O Dependant visas. The visas were applied at the Mumbai VFS center where I submitted all documents together. My son's visa contains the right company name whereas my daughter and I have been issued visas in the name of the company which owns the apartment building where we reside. Since the company names are written in Thai we were only made aware of this once we arrived here and submitted our passports for the 1 year extension. 

The immigration officials here have told us to speak to the Mumbai embassy and sort it out ourselves. The Mumbai embassy so far is refusing to acknowledge any mistake. My only option at the moment is to go back to India and reapply for a fresh visa for us. 

Is there any option for us to convert the visa to the right company name without leaving the country or even appeal to the local Thai officials to correct the mistake made in Mumbai.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is facing an issue with incorrect company names on their Non-O visas issued in India, leading to complications with local immigration authorities in Thailand. They received conflicting advice, with immigration officials directing them to the Mumbai embassy, which has so far refused to acknowledge the mistake. Comments suggest contacting the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs for possible resolution, but previous attempts at the MFA indicate the need for approval from the Thai embassy in Mumbai. The user is seeking alternative options to resolve the visa issue without leaving Thailand.

We have already been to the MFA and they said they will only change it if the Thai embassy in Mumbai approves.

Lloyd is correct

the ONLY place that could possibly help you resolve this (if it can be resolved at all) is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office out on Chaengwattana Road.

The immigration office doesn't have anything to do with visas issued outside the country. That is controlled by the MFA office. They'd have to get a hold of the issuing embassy and get the correction. That's IF it can be done.

Dunno if it can or can't be resolved here but it is the MFA office you wanna start with NOT the immigration office. I'd try Consular Services first with them because that's who issues visas outside the country
