ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The confusion about the ED (Education) Visa primarily stems from differing school policies and immigration regulations. While traditionally, students on an ED Visa perform 90-day reporting, recent changes have led some institutions to require students to exit Thailand after 6 months and apply for a new ED Visa to continue their studies. This requirement seems to be more common in certain language schools than universities. Therefore, it is crucial for students to verify the specific conditions with their educational institution.
