Can I extend my visa after having an EDU visa and what are my options to reset my tourist visa in Thailand?

If you're thinking of going to Cambodia, you can inbox me if you like, as I have a write up someone did of all the steps to take which will be helpful, I went to Cambodia on 2nd Jan and came back 5th Jan so I was only there 3 days, I basically did everything the same as on this write up and it all went smoothly

The 21 day requirement was made moot and dropped when vaccinated travelers from all countries were approved for test and go scheme.

Be clear that the "given 1 week" is ONLY if you apply for an extension and then given the extension denied stamp. Otherwise you must stamp out by midnight on the date your current permission allows.

Totally correct IF you went to ANY type of a Non-Immigrant visa before you went on covid extensions (no matter if you entered with it or got it inside the country) you're now done getting covid extensions 😮 When the old program ran out and the new one started on Jan 26th that was a restriction.

You are correct there is nothing to be done. If you go apply for an extension now you will be given a 7 day application denied stamp that gives you a week to get out of the country.

Your option is to leave the country and come back either on a visa exempt entry OR get a single entry tourist visa while you're out of the country.

Most people visa run to Cambodia as it's the nearest country to thailand that is open, has relatively easy entry requirements and the thai consulate there seems to be okay to deal with to get a tourist visa while you're there.

Remember though you will need to meet the entry requirements when you come back to thailand

There is no must stay out for 21 days rule, that is 100% a b/s rumor.. Dunno where you read it.

It is true. EDU is a Non-Immigrant visa category, and as of 26-Jan only TR and Tourist Visa Exempt categories are being accepted for covid extensions. You should consider going to a neighboring country (Cambodia, Philippines, Singapore).
