Can I get a Ed visa extend it for full 12months 90 days at a time. Then leave Thailand for 3 months comeback and get another ED visa and run it out 12 months 90 days at a time ? Will be using a connected agent in pattaya.
Summary so far
The discussion revolves around the possibility of extending an Education (ED) visa in Thailand for 12 months with 90-day renewals. Responses indicate that the only way to obtain a 12-month extension is through enrollment in a recognized university program. Additionally, a second extension is typically not granted unless there is proof of course attendance during the initial 12 months. Interaction suggests consulting a local agent for more tailored advice.

The only 12 month extension for a Non-ED visa is for a university course and you will not get a 2nd extension unless you have attended for your course during the first 12 months

90 day extensions are for non-university studies, you said extend for 12 months
