What can my friend do after facing issues with Thai immigration and wanting to extend his stay?

Ellis ******************************

-up to the discretion of the officer employed by the Immigration Bureau and Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Meaning their decision-making processes/ “discretion” must comply with legal frameworks under Thai immigration laws, regulations, and official directives as per Immigration Act, B.E. 2522 (1979), Ministry of Foreign Affairs Regulations, Immigration Bureau Orders and any Royal Thai Police Directives? Is that what you’re talking about?
