ORIGINAL POSTER

Does anyone know which embassies provide a letter with which a stay can be extended, and which embassies refuse to provide this?   That will be helpful for people of those countries.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses which embassies issue letters that allow for a stay extension in Thailand. The UK embassy is mentioned as providing letters for applicants seeking long stay or NON-IMM visas. Additionally, the Russian embassy requires a personal interview with the consul. There are also comments suggesting a previous similar inquiry and the urgency related to upcoming amnesty deadlines.

Will ask my wife to phone the Officer at Saraburi before Friday (I report there - long story). All documents sorted, just hope for a very quick turnaround too)

I reported to Saraburi Immigration yesterday, hoping to get an extension but they stated I had to get a letter from my embassy and also stamped in my PP an extension of stay permitted to 26th. My wife done all of the talking when we were there.

Matter of overstay, you are right. I am not going to risk it. The previous email from the embassy has vanished for some reason, I will take every email / correspondence and the next next email from the embassy with me on Friday. Now you can face Jail for overstaying.

Praying for a quick turnaround now !!!

I wouldn't overstay if I were you. Very worst case i would take the email trail to immigration on Friday and risk refusal and a 7 day to leave. (Not sure if that even applies nowadays) However fingers crossed you get a quick turnaround. Have you got all your documents sorted for Surin? You need to find out exactly what they want. All the IO's are different.

You must be in the same situation as me, applying for a letter. You were right as the Embassy emailed me. I forwarded the documents, emailed me back immediately saying they would reply in 2 days time.

Don't know when they will issue the letter. If later than the 26th, a couple of days of overstay would not matter or would it ?

Im not sure a list of 195 countries stating yes or no is going to help anyone now. Amnesty runs out in 4 days time.
