ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi Team,

I'm just graduated this summer and I'm currently holding ED Visa from university valid until 15 September. I am now enroll to a Language school which I got all the document that needed. I was told by the language school to go Malaysia/ Vietnam embassy to obtain my new visa. It is possible to extend my visa a little bit longer because i heard it is very hard to travel back to thailand once you travel to other country.

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A recent graduate holding an ED visa (valid until September 15) is inquiring about the possibility of extending their visa or needing to apply for a new one while transitioning to a language school. It is noted that they may have been on an extension of stay that is no longer valid post-graduation, suggesting that a new visa application is required.

I guess you used to be on an Extension of Stay from your University and that should be cancelled the day you stopped or got graduated.

You can not extend this any longer and need to go to apply for a new visa
