Can you renew an education visa (ED visa) while in Thailand, and is the amnesty available for all visa types?
Hi anyone on ed visa here leaving Thailand anytime soon because they're not allowing renewal inside of the country? (only for those on tourist visas on first ed visa can renew inside the country sniff) Or know any schools who can? Also, is the amnesty only for tourists? Seem to hear different answers. Some say it's for every kind of visa.
Answer summary
The discussion focuses on the challenges of renewing an education visa (ED visa) in Thailand, with a specific concern about the inability to renew from within the country. It mentions that currently, only tourists can renew their first ED visa inside Thailand. Additionally, there is clarification that the amnesty applies to all visa types that have expired or have not been renewed, contrary to some beliefs that it is only for tourists.

If your last extension expires on the 16th of sept Li PL you're almost 12 WEEKS from needing to do anything about it.
I'd say sit back, stop panicking and wait to see if they get the country opened back up.
