*NEED INFORMATION / ADVICE*

If my Non-B visa is expiring on 31 October and I don't have option to go back to my country due to flight closure, how should I get extension? I heard embassy letter is required. What other documents I may need for extension.
Answer summary
If your Non-B visa is expiring on 31 October and you cannot return to your country due to flight closures, you can apply for an extension at your local immigration office. It is advisable to call the local office to get specific guidance as interpretations of rules may vary. You will likely need to provide a letter from your embassy and any evidence supporting your inability to travel. Alternatives such as applying for a proper extension through employment or investment in Thailand could also be considered.

Asking for extension of stay based on necessity is not an extension of your Non-B visa. It merely gives you some time before you eventually return back to your country. To do so, you need to make a case explaining the reason why you can not go back to your country and provide any evidence to support that reason. If you can not provide evidence and your embassy won’t issue a note to support your extension, you might have to consider other options such as

1. Return to your country

2. Extend your non-B visa by proper means, such as getting a job, getting your business partner to support reason for your extension, investing in a business in Thailand, etc.

As every local immigration office seems to interpret the rules slightly differently, your best bet is to call into your local office and ask them.
