Yes, why not? You can apply for a Thai visa in any city that has an embassy, no need for it to be in your home country. 

Not true some Thia Embassies only offer visas to citizens or those with formal residency status. Also, citizens of many countries cannot get a visa outside of their home country

I agree with you all, it just doesn't make sense why he was refused. He was told to go back and get a re-entry stamp even though his intention was to get a new visa. My worry is getting to the airport and then told to get a re-entry stamp which would not be possible as I would miss my flight.

Suppose for the sake of 1,000baht it would be one less thing to worry about.

 

Thanks all.

I very much doubt your friend was refused exit unless he was arrested on a previously issued warrant.

Isn't unproven speculation (whether of not having sufficient income, working or otherwise) the basis on which immigration also seems to be denying entry in recent times?

 

Speculation also seemed to be enough for the embassies to scrap income letters, given that there's no hard proof of any cases where anyone lied to get a letter.

LOl, No speculation involved in determining if someone has 10/2000Baht cash! 

You are also speculating about why (4)Embassies withdrew from issuing 'income' letters!

Your post was not so hard to understand.

I suggest you try to read and understand the entry and exit dates I reported from my pp. Then count the days.

You clearly do have a problem.

What is so difficult to understand about " Every immigration office does not reset the 90day report date when issuing a new extension."? 

PS I have no intention of wading through an irrelevant list of entry/exit dates.

I always thought chemo came after surgery or radiation treatment.? I would never have anything serious done here without a 2nd opinion and never see a consultant who had not worked or has been trained in the west. Recently thinking of insurance had to get a check up done, there were several bad results which would have led to pre existing conditions and no cover, so I did not take out the insurance. Going home a few weeks later had all the tests done again, absolutely nothing wrong at all!

You thought wrong. Chemo/radiotherapy is often used to de-bulk tumors prior to surgery. 

If you are so insistent on 2nd opinions/western trained medical staff make sure you never suffer a serious accident or illness which requires instant urgent treatment.

The problem is, the IOs organize and run the corruption, then make problems for people obeying the law. 

To be fair, the OP had an overstay, but he had paid the fine and left.  Then, upon his return, he was told to buy a ticket by an IO, and did as he was asked.  After following instructions, he was then denied-entry after that step - which is inexcusable. 
Similar is reported at Poipet - told to come back the next day, then when they do, given a formal denial-of-entry stamp for following an IO's instructions. 

 

This is not how legitimate people and organizations operate.

You seem to accept at face value unverifiable stories which are related on an anonymous forum.

I have used the Poipet crossing on many occasions without any problem but that is not "news'

Making all foreigners extend through an agent and earning $$$$$ in bribe money.

A conspiracy theory - Most people secure their extensions without any difficulty.

If they were really interested in "the truth" you would have received your extension with that bank-book evidence, plus more than enough "money in the bank" seasoned for the combo-method.  They seem to have another agenda.  

"They seem to have another agenda"  WHAT, in your opinion would that be?  You have no idea what transpired during this alleged refusal of an extension unless you are claiming to have been accompanying "molen02"   

There is no retrospective provision for legalising the overstay of drunks or anyone else - Overstay and accept the consequences sober or not!

The British Embassy in Bangkok is still open as far as I am aware just go and get an emergency passport 

No one can just "go in" an appointment is required.

Here in China we deal with the same company that has been mentioned, VFS, for lost or stolen passports and replacements.

 

Also as has been said the Visa issues and the passport are two separate issues, and neither agency interacts.

 

To replace your stolen passport you will have to go to VFS with a police report, which you say you already have and they will require proof of where you are living, alternative ID and details of the stolen passport.  As soon as you've reported to VFS that your old passport is stolen it becomes useless as there is a world database of stolen passports and I'm guessing Thailand is privy to it. On no account give details of where the passport is, as it will be deemed recoverable and they won't issue a new one.

 

The application will be sent by courier to Liverpool PO and will be processed in about three weeks. You will be given a temporary travel document which you surrender when you go back to VFS to collect, which you have to do in person.

 

As for the Visa overstay issue, it's of little use to tell you how it's handled in China, there's better information from other posters on how to manage that one in Thailand.

"You will be given a temporary travel document which you surrender when you go back to VFS to collect" WRONG -  VFS do not issue tempory travel documents which are only available from the British Embassy.

That Drive Through can also be used to lodge TM30 forms etc

Guess he won,t ask you in future ,done to death over n over. How come you knew what OP was referring to enable your pedantic response

"Done to death" by people like you. The original question asked by me of the OP was understood and responded to by the OP - Then others interfered

In England it's not illegal to change your name "Deed Poll" It has been done here where people are back in Thailand, not mee

Maybe so but i is very difficult to change appearance, eye colour and place/date of birth etc. Attempting to take on a new identity is more complex than changing a name by Deed poll.

KarlS, this post and your subsequent posts, indicate that you ignored the first word of the post's title. A touch of humility would not go amiss.

I ignored nothing because the OP asked for HELP with something that a)is not possible and b) does not exist.  Anything else I can HELP you with?

"Casual conversation" leads to misunderstandings, confusion, and errors especially if that "conversation" is conducted in writing in a forum. 

Can you think of a way that misundstanding that would have altered his course of action? Whether he calls it an extension of stay or an extension of his visa, he's going to be doing the exact same thing.

LOL  Thanks for demonstrating the truth of what I say. The OP wrote about RENEWING A VISA! Which cannot be done. Nor can Visas be extended.

You're being pedantic.  The guy would have a visa of some sort, probably a non-Imm O or OA, and he needs to get an extension of stay annually.  But in casual conversation people often say that they they are extending their visa rather than that they are applying for an extension of stay.

"Casual conversation" leads to misunderstandings, confusion, and errors especially if that "conversation" is conducted in writing in a forum. 

Forget about "fixing" the overstay and avoiding the ban,

Obtain a new passport by opening the link and following the instructions. https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport. 

When you have the passport book a flight. Leave via an airport the overstay fine will be 20,000Baht.
