Hey everyone

I have been in Thailand for over seven and a half years working so therefore, I have been on a Non-B Work Visa the whole time.

However, I am leaving Thailand (around 23 August) but my Non-B Visa expires on 1 July so therefore I need to stay for a few weeks.

At first, I was advised that I would need to leave the country and return on a visa exempt visa and then extend for 30 days.

However, I was then advised that I could do it without leaving the county. Therefore, I went to Immigration today who said that I do not have to leave the country but that I needed a letter from the UK Embassy along with a cancellation letter from my school and then I go to immigration again and change my visa.

So, I spent the whole afternoon trying to contact the British Embassy, via email, phone and Facebook. However, very unhelpful and unclear information and on I am no further forward on that and what I need to proceed?

So, ultimately my questions are:

Do I need to leave Thailand and return? and if not

what documents do I need from my Embassy (and how do I get these?) and my school for the process and when do I need to lodge these?

For information, I hold a UK Passport.

Thanks so much
