Hello everyone! Italian passport here, staying in Thailand until early January under a ED Visa for an internship. After that, my plan was to visit some countries around here and come back to Thailand with a tourist visa before leaving for Europe. I might need to change my plans, but my final flight is leaving from Thailand in any case.
I was wondering if there is any way to get a tourist visa when my ED visa is over without having to leave the country.
Thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
An Italian passport holder currently in Thailand on an ED visa for an internship is inquiring about options to obtain a tourist visa without exiting the country after their ED visa expires. The responses clarify that there is no in-country procedure to obtain a tourist visa directly, and the individual must either exit Thailand to re-enter and receive a visa exempt entry or obtain a single entry tourist visa from a Thai consulate in a nearby country.
