Hey all! Thanks for let me join this group :)

I have a question concerning ED-visa for intern. Does anyone have experience about requesting ED-Visa from Hong Kong (it is difficult to contact the embassy). Already tried to ask from Shanghai and they are not making ED-visa there. Visa applicant is from Finland and currently in China. If it is not possible to apply in Hong Kong which city would be closest to Bangkok for that purpose? Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original poster inquires about the process for applying for an ED visa (education visa) from Hong Kong for an internship, as they found it difficult to contact the embassy. They are a Finnish citizen currently in China and are seeking assistance on where to apply if Hong Kong is not an option. In the comments, users share experiences indicating that obtaining the ED visa is possible from Hong Kong and suggest that the closest alternatives for application would be the Thai consulates in Penang, Malaysia, and Vientiane, Laos.

I know people who aren't from Hong Kong or Macao have gotten tourist and Non-B visas there without a problem so I can't see how an ED visa would be different.

"A copy of Hong Kong/Macau I.D.Card" Does this mean it is only possible for Macau and HK citizens?

If their documentation is correct I don't think they'd have a problem there.
