Hello! I was planning on applying for an ED Visa in Hanoi in May. The language school I have enrolled at has just called to inform me that the documents are ready, the letter from MOE expires on May 2, despite knowing that I was planning on leaving Thailand on May 6 to apply on May 7. They have said it is fine to apply on May 7 as it is only 5 days over the expiry date. Has anyone ever applied for an ED Visa with an expired letter from the Ministry of Education? Any advice?
Yes I know changing my travel dates is an option. I have already booked and paid for flights, hotel, and a pet sitter and am currently in the process of cancelling my current work permit and extension of stay to leave on May 6 so I would like to avoid this if possible.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on applying for an ED Visa in Thailand with an expired letter from the Ministry of Education, noting that their language school said applying five days after the expiry date may be acceptable. They noted their travel plans are already set, making rescheduling difficult.
