Your srilankan friend needs a letter from his employer from his native country and that is what the Royal Thai Embassy in srinlanka needs to see. If he is working then his employer will request Thai visa for him for a short period of time, They would be as a guarantor for him from his country that, he is genuinly going for only tourism purpose. <br>

I feel sorry for you my friend, but getting panic makes your situation worst.

Here is what i suggest, give visa run company a deadline and tell them if they don't keep their promise and deliver you the passport safely, you will sue them for everything they have.

You are still illegal in the kingdom but atleast holding passport with a valid visa will make your situation at least somewhat better, then you can go through a lawyer who will assist you and clearify at the immigration what actually happend.

Everytime you enter or leave thailand, there are the details along with your picture in immigration system.

Good luck!

I just spoke with the visa service. My passport was left on the desk at the the Thai embassy in Laos. I have been assured %100 my passport will be returned to me on Tues. First time i have ever done a visa run and hopefully the last. Very bad choice on my part to allow this to happen. I hope on tues i can just check this off as a lesson learned.

Avoid traveling within thailand, don't get caught for passport check. You must have your passport with valid visa in your hands before you try to do anything at immigration to save yoursef.

Every visa runs aren't the same, it is just you been missleaded and you listened to someone who had no idea about rules and regulations of Thai Immigration.

I wish you very good luck!

thanks Colabamumbai...

NHJ....You think i am here for an advertisement, Did i name the company here? Well colabamumbai is right, I should aviod negative people and you are one of them.

oh come on, you know people with no knowledge of thai laws/rules will come to ask you in PM what the company is and that's it you'll get customers.

as a moderator said, there's no lawyer needed to get an extension of stay, the personn has a list of requirements from it's immigration office, he collects all the paper and come back later with all documents for examination, simple as that.

I bet you have no idea what you are talking about.

I found a company who helped me to get the visa extension here in Bangkok, of course I met all the requirements but I didn't mind to pay reasonable cost for their service. I was fully satisfied with their efforts for doing 90 days reporting free of cost and got Re-entry permit with no service charges. However, I paid the government fee. This is where I promised to them I will introduce the company to few of my friends too and I did, my friends were also satisfied and forwarded me a small note saying "Thank You" and then I recommended this company to someone I don't know and never met, this person replied to me and asked me if I am working for them and why I have to choose him to pick this company? and many things.

I feel so bad about it and I am about to promise myself not to recommend any service to anyone I don't know, may be I should keep my recommendations only to my friends.

I need your advice, should I keep my recommendations to my friends only? Or I shouldn't recommend at all?

Cheers!
