ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm on a Thai language education visa -6months- at the moment, expiring end of March. I'm planning to go back to Germany mid May. Could I keep the ED visa until March and then switch back to amnesty or 60 day extension for the remainder of my time here until May, or do I have to extend this ED visa for another 6months? Thanks so much for your help

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently on a Thai Education Visa (ED) set to expire at the end of March and wishes to know if they can switch to a 60-day extension or amnesty until mid-May or if they must extend their education visa for another 6 months. Respondents clarify that amnesty has ended and advise applying for a 60-day Covid extension before the cut-off date, or alternatively, obtaining documentation from the school to extend the education visa if still studying.

First off you need to understand there is NO amnesty anymore. That ran out at the end of Oct. There ARE 60 day covid extensions though. BUT the ability to get one runs out on Jan 29th (next Friday). <- meaning that's the last day right now you can apply for a 60 day covid extension.

So my advice is, IF you're on an ED visa extension and you wanna stay past the time this current extension runs out if you're still studying get documentation from the school and get another ED extension.

Thanks Tod. Do they give 60day covid extensions on ED visa or only on previous covid extensions?

They will give 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19, however, the last day they are selling them is January 29.
