Hello!
my husband and I have been in Thailand for the last 3 years on an ED visa/Ed visa extenstion. Our visa expires next month, and we were thinking about going to Malaysia for a couple of weeks and then when there apply for a 60 tourist visa at the Thai consulate (and hopefully get a 30 day extension after that in country) before going back to the states. Do you think this will be possible, or is it unlikely we will be given the 60 day tourist visa?
Thank you so much for your help!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on whether they can obtain a 60-day tourist visa from a Thai consulate in Malaysia after their ED visa expires in Thailand. Observations suggest that it might be challenging to acquire a new visa after a long stay on ED visas, and it's recommended to consider using land border crossings instead for visa exemption entries into Thailand, allowing for possible extensions.
