Good morning,
My son just arrived from France in Thailand. He applied 3 weeks ago for an ED visa.
Today he entered at 6 am in Thailand on Tourist / Visa extension.
And now, 1 hour ago (8 30 am), we just received the ED Visa approval.
My question is : can we go immigration to validate the ED Visa ? Where ?
Any agency to help with this ?
Or do we need him to go outside the country and then come back as ED Visa ?
Thanks in advance
