Hey, I'm wondering if I could get some help. I'm in Samut Prakan on a SETV.
I went to immigration last week to do my visa extension, and they told me that my place of residence hadn't registered me, so they couldn't extend my visa. They gave me some papers on how to do that, and I gave them to my apartment building last week. It has been more than a week since I gave that to them, but they still haven't registered me. I am allowed to stay in Thailand until August 6th without the extension.
So what's my best option here? Anger doesn't generally solve anything in Thailand, but patience doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. One option is I could bring my housing contract to immigration to prove that I'm not, say, living at my girlfriend's house, and maybe they will give me some mercy. Another option is to spend one night in a hostel in Bangkok just to get registered and then get the extension there. I would rather not rush out of the country to get another SETV without extending this one.
Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
