Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has become the latest politician to send detained footballer Hakeem Al-Araibi support after writing a letter "on behalf of all Victorians."

Mr Al-Araibi has been held in Thailand since arriving in Bangkok on holiday on November 27, due to a wrongly-issued Interpol red notice.

On Thursday night, Mr Andrews said he sent a letter to Mr Al-Araibi and called for him to "stay strong".

"I sent this note to Hakeem, to let him know that all Victorians are standing with him. Stay strong, mate. We will get you home. And we’ll look forward to seeing you out on the field again very soon," Mr Andrews tweeted with a photo of the letter.

Mr Andrews' call for support follows Prime Minister Scott Morrison's letter to Thai PM Prayuth Chan-ocha calling for the Melbourne-based footballer to be sent back to Australia.

On Thursday, Mr Morrison said Australia is "pushing on every door" to get Thailand to release Mr Al-Araibi, despite receiving no direct response from his counterpart.

"We are pushing on every door here and we will continue to do that respectfully but very determinedly," Mr Morrison told 2GB on Thursday.

But on Thursday, he brushed aside the lack of response.

"It's not my job to get offended, it's my job to get Hakeem home," he said.

"We're still working closely with them. This is a very sensitive diplomatic issue."

Asked whether Mr Al-Araibi faced extradition to Bahrain as soon as this week, Mr Morrison said: "That is not what we believe".

SBS News understands the Thai Prime Minister may discuss the matter at a press conference on Friday.

Meanwhile, former Socceroos captain Craig Foster appeared on CNN on Wednesday saying Bahrain was trying to "contravene international law" by extraditing a refugee who has been granted protection by Australia.
