Can I get a 1-month extension on my ED visa while waiting for my school's paperwork for a full-year visa extension?
I’m a student at Mae Fah Luang University and I’m facing a bit of a problem. My first 3-month ED visa will expire on September 25, but I’m still waiting for my school to finish the paperwork needed for my full-year visa extension.
The process might take more than two weeks, and I’m worried I won’t be able to extend my visa in time. I’m hoping it’s possible to get a 1-month extension first while I wait for the documents so I don’t overstay.
Any advice or tips from fellow students who have gone through this would be really appreciated!

Summary so far
The individual is a student with an impending expiration of their 3-month ED visa and is concerned about not receiving full-year visa extension paperwork in time. They seek advice on possible extensions, but comments suggest there is no option for a short extension like the one requested, and they may face overstaying if the paperwork is not expedited by the university.

Sadly there is no extension other than the 90 day extension or the one year extension (if you're in a uni). There's no "I need more time to get the paperwork" extension available.
The uni knows this, and what will happen is you will run on overstay until you apply for the extension once your 90 days runs out.
You need to REALLY get that school to get the paperwork for you. That's their responsibility, they know they have to do it, and there's not much from your side that you can do if you don't get it but run on overstay 🙁
