Hi everyone! 😊

I’ve been living in Bangkok since February and I’m currently on an ED visa for Thai language studies, which expires on December 22.

I’d love to apply for a new ED visa, ideally for Muay Thai, without having to leave Thailand.

Does anyone has been through a similar situation?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Summary so far

The individual is currently on an ED visa for language studies and is seeking advice on applying for a new ED visa for Muay Thai without leaving Thailand. Comments indicate that reapplying for an ED visa while already on one is typically not permitted and suggest looking into alternative visa options.

You’ll have to explore alternative visas as usually ED visa is for one time. Check the Thai embassy website in your home country for visa options.

You're currently already on an education extension. Once that's done you cannot do anything except leave Thailand. You cannot convert to an ED visa because you're already on ED status. Converting is something you do from a tourist stay.
