I'm a work permit holder. My husband got a visa to accompany me from the Thai consulate in LA, California but they mistakenly listed the reason as "Thai wife". Our local immigration office won't grant an extension of stay until the mistake is corrected, but I can't get any response from the consulate in LA.

I'm thinking that we'll have to exit the country, apply again at a consulate outside of Thailand, and return. Is that correct?

(I get zero visa support from my employer for family members. Even getting the appropriate documents to apply for the visa was a struggle.)
