Can I get 30 days visa exemption converted to student visa without leaving the country considering COVID situation? I've just started studying at a Buddhist Uni but came here on a short notice, so I just got the visa exemption. Thank you 🙏🏽

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can convert a 30-day visa exemption to a student visa while remaining in Thailand. It's advisable to initiate the process as soon as possible, as it can take approximately 30-35 days. Additionally, it would be beneficial to consult with your university for guidance on the application process.
