Did you ask the Thai Consulate what they expect for the "support letter"?

You are not getting a new visa, but instead changing the reason for the extension of stay.

If you are making 40K THB or more a month, you can use your employment contract as proof of finances.

If you are not making 40K THB or more a month, you can use the 400K THB banked money method that has been seasoned for two calendar months.

Did you enter on:

- A 30 day visa exempt (stamped "ผ" in the passport)

- A bilateral agreement (stamped "ผผ" in the passport)

- A visa on arrival (that's good for 15 days)

- Tourist visa?

@Daniel ****
The single entry re-entry permit can only be used once. However, a person can buy an unlimited amount of single entry re-entry permits. Remember though, the re-entry permit expires at the same time as your current extension of stay.

You should not have any problems asking for a tourist visa if you have a two day overstay stamp from the Thai consulate in Cambodia.

I disagree with you on that one Bobby. Being a "Special Lecturer" (or "IT Teacher" or "Librarian" or whatever they want to call the non-degree holding teacher) is a valid job and can get a normal extension of stay at the immigration office, along with the work permit.

What may have happened is a farang parent may have discovered he did not have a degree, and complained to the school. In Thailand, parents pay full price for the child's education. Employers do not like firing employees in Thailand because of the culture, so the school is going to try and point the finger at some middle manager at an immigration office saying "no".
