Hi all,
So, I just want to make sure there's no potential issue with my plan. I'm in Thailand, on my first ED Visa, which is coming to an end on March 15th. I'm going to get a new one at Chiang Mai University (already checked with them), but with this lovely smoke season coming up, I'd like to skip town, and squeeze a '60-day Covid extension' in between. So, end of February, I would go to immigration here in CM, get the 60 days extension, go away for a month or so, and come back in May to get my new ED Visa.
Anybody sees an issue with this plan?
