A friend of mine from Germany submitted her papers for an ED visa (Thai language) already 2 weeks ago but it’s still not approved. Her flight leaves on Monday. Can she enter on the visa exemption and then change the visa her in Thailand? I think the approved visa will be send via email as far as I understand the situation.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired whether their friend from Germany could enter Thailand on a visa exemption while awaiting the approval of her ED visa application. Experts clarified that entering on a visa exemption is possible, but she must exit and re-enter Thailand to activate her 90-day ED visa once it is approved and emailed to her. This process involves first receiving the eVisa approval before she can officially change her visa status.
