Hello there, hope all of you find good and safe. Thanks in advance for your guide and support on my topic, you’ve very helpful in the past and hope someone here can support my question.
I’m on a ED Visa learning Thai language. As any other my school is closed, but I’m taking care of my studies by my own at home while situation here gets better.
I made my first extension on March 31, and I’ve received until May 14 on my stamp. Also I went to MOE to make exam. I’ve contacted the school to receive indications about how to proceed, and they said I’m currently covered by the new inmigration rules until the July 31, and I just need to keep studying at home while they open again and request a new extension near end of July, as usual.
I’ve looked inmigration rules and also tried to call them many times, but nobody picks the phone. I just want to double check school information with your recommendations, since I’ve dizzy reading too much information here. Just want to be sure and safe that I can just keep at home and not need to go inmigration or do some else.
I’m attaching my stamp on this post. Thanks again for time and I’ll really appreciate your comments.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is currently on an ED visa for learning Thai, with concerns about extending their visa amid the school closure due to COVID-19. They have received information from their school indicating they are covered by new immigration rules until July 31 and only need to keep studying at home. However, they are seeking confirmation on whether they need to physically visit immigration or not. A commenter suggests that the school could provide paperwork to facilitate the normal extension process, which would ensure the user remains on 'hard stamp extensions' rather than relying on temporary amnesty.
