ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi guys! Has anyone had any success attaining an ED Visa recently from a language centre while on the Covid-19 amnesty (tourist-visa exemption)? I had a school just tell me that I couldn’t apply for an ED visa because I’m currently on the Covid-19 amnesty. Just curious to see what schools allow you to apply, regardless of your current visa status. Thanks, all!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post inquires about the possibility of obtaining an Education Visa (ED Visa) from a language center while under the Covid-19 amnesty program. Comments indicate that obtaining this visa may not be possible while on amnesty and suggest needing to leave the country for the application.

You have to leave the country to get an Ed visa no?

I think Universities can process the ED Visa without you leaving if your want to do a degree course, but not a language school. You need to leave the country.

Chiang Mai immigration is able to process an ED visa from in the country, but only certain schools allow you to!

You can not get an extension of stay based on being a student at a Thai language school while being on amnesty.
