Can I replace my stolen passport with a 1-year ED visa while in Thailand?

Okay, your school HAD to make copies of your VISA that you got from vientiane AND your 90 day entry stamp to send to the Ministry of Education to get you the paperwork you took to get an extension at the immigration office.

The school has copies of those papers, and all you need is to GET those, take them to the immigration office (along with ALL the documentation that shows you had your passport stolen, and got a new one etc) AND the immigration office where you got your extension can look up the extension they issued you, AND put it in this NEW passport and it will still be valid for as long as it was when you got it (usually 90 days).

This all hinges on whether you BOUGHT a re-entry permit from either the immigration office OR from the immigration booth at the airport BEFORE you flew out.

AND when you left the country to travel DID you buy a re-entry permit BEFORE you left?

That answer is critical

Believe it or not I'm trying to help you and what I really need are just facts NOT the story behind it.

So if you want some accurate advice lets get back on track or I'll cut you loose and you can figure it out on your own. I got NO time for hand holding or group hugs today okay?

You COULDN'T have gotten a year long ED visa from Vientiane :/ They ONLY sell 90 day single entry ED visas. SO you are either confused OR you did get a 90 day ED visa and then you got an extension from the immigration office with documents from your school

and not to be unsympathetic how about we just cut the b/s story out of the post :O

Let's summarize it like:

I had a one year ED visa in my passport, it was stolen, I got a replacement passport and came back to thailand on a 30 day visa exempt entry.

@Rob ********

okay, let's sort this out before it gets out of control.

Where did you get the one year ED visa?

Have you gone to immigration and asked? Normally they should be able to do something about this situation.

Things are changing every day here. When do you have to leave Thailand?

What country are you in now?
