ORIGINAL POSTER

Good evening,

I am currently studying as an exchange student at a university in Thailand and am on a 90 day non-ED visa. Since my visa expires on December 4 and I am studying until December 15, I would actually have to extend my visa for 1900 baht. Could I just leave before December 4th and come back after December 4th with a visa exemption or will I have problems if i do that? I also have to leave the country again for 8 days over Christmas and then come back to Thailand until mid-January and then go home completely. So i would Need 2 more Visa exemptions. Does anyone have any experience of this?

no one can tell you if you'll have an issue getting back in free stamp after taking the 90 days on the ED visa,

I would say have proof you're leaving the country when you go to come back in free stamp entry, they'll either let you in without question or ask you what you're doing, and just explain to them your studies stopped and you're getting things ready to go back to your country
