Can I extend my student visa in Thailand without renewing my yearly rental contract?
I plan to extend my student VISA which will expire on 28 February 2022 because I have to stay in Thailand longer for about 1-2 months due to additional experiments for my thesis research and publication for graduation. Can I extend my student VISA with a monthly rent of my apartment because I don't renew the yearly contract and plan to go back to my country on April. I haven't changed my address since coming to Thailand. Thank you in advance.

I think you're confused a bit, you need documentation from your school or uni to apply for an extension and as a rule those extensions issued based on education are for no more than 90 days at a time.
You need to be talking to your school/university to get documentation to apply for an extension based on education.

I've discussed with my uni and they will prepare my documents to extend my VISA only for 6 months. However, one of the documents that I have to bring to the immigration office is an apartment contract which I did not renew for an annual contract so currently I only rent my apartment monthly. Sorry for my misunderstanding 🙏Tod *********
@Alfan ****
just take it, there shouldn't be a problem at all. I never heard them asking for a lease for the duration of the extension, if you pay month to month, just take the current lease you haveAlfan *****

Yes, I have. I also haven't changed address since I came to Thailand. Many thanks for your explanation. 🙏Tod *********
