ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone. Hope you're well.

Currently I am holding an ED visa which expires at the end of the month. Is it possible to receive a volunteer visa close to my ED visa's expiry date?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the possibility of obtaining a volunteer visa as their ED visa nears expiration. Community members suggest contacting the agent from whom the ED visa was acquired and confirm that securing a volunteer opportunity is necessary to apply for the volunteer visa.

Just contact the agent you bought the ED visa from, as it doesn't seem like you are actually going to do volunteer work...lolol.
