ED cancellation > COVID extension (samui):
For those who have cancelled ED visa and changed to COVID extension at samui.. were you able to accomplish this in one day? Did you leave immigration with an under consideration stamp / need to return? Or were you able to get your first 30 days etc.?
Can anyone confirm please whether samui is requiring additional documents (landlord ID card copy, every passport page copies etc.) ?
Would be helpful for many to have a brief outline of this process based on first hand experience. Any input appreciated. Thanks for reading.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the process of converting an ED visa to a COVID extension in Samui. Users inquire if this can be accomplished in one day and whether individuals receive an 'under consideration' stamp or immediate approval for the 30 days extension. The comments clarify that one must cancel their ED visa at the immigration office that issued it and that the necessary documents include proof of educational status and potentially landlord ID card copies. First-hand experiences indicate that both cancellation and application for the COVID extension can be processed simultaneously, given proper documentation.
