So I got kinda screwed over today. Went in to do my 1 year retirement extension. I had all the correct documents, including my bank stuff.

Got shut down.

After working 4 years in China, when I came back, I used a lawyer (agency) to move things along. They changed my visa to a non o and then at about 75 days after that, had immigration change it to a Non O retirement. I did all my 90 day reports everything was cool. That was done in Phetchaburi btw.

I’ve since moved to Bangkok I went in today and the immigration officer told me they have nothing on me ! My OA and extension don’t exist in their computers. I’ve basically been here for the last 15 months illegally.

He was cool though and knew right away what had happened between the agency and Phetchaburi immigration. I guess he didn’t also want to raise a stink on my local IO. So he told me I need to leave the country, get either a new OA or a tourist visa and then CW will change it to the one year extension (legally.)

So now I’m looking at flights around Thai embassy cities.

Any recommendations on the least painless, most simple Embassy to get a quick in and out ?

I used to go to Vientiane all the time , but that’s been many moons ago.
