Hi everyone,

I’m here on an Non-immigrant educational visa and got all the forms in order and a letter from my university here, so that’s not the issue.

My visa expires 16th of October so I want to go to the immigration office tomorrow morning to extend my visa and get a multiple-entry visa (I now have a single entry visa). I thought those 2 things can all be done together but now I’m hearing how those are 2 separate things and I’m just really confused how this works? I thought I understood but apparently not... anyone who can explain/knows how this works? And what I can get done tomorrow at the immigration office?

Answer summary

The poster is looking to extend their Non-immigrant educational visa and switch from a single-entry to a multiple-entry visa, but there is confusion regarding the process. Responses clarify that they can extend the educational visa at the immigration office and then obtain a re-entry permit (single or multiple) after the extension is granted. However, a multiple-entry visa is not available unless the individual is a director or shareholder of a company.

you are going to the immigration office to get an extension for 1900baht and then AFTER you get the extension you will buy a re-entry permit (single for 1000baht or multiple for 3800baht) that will last as long as your extension does

You cannot get a multiple entry Visa at all if you are not a Director or Shareholder of a company unfortunately.

Only a re-entry permit

I think they are just using wrong terminology concerning a re-entry permit (they called it a visa) as they said they are going to get an extension at the immigration office NOT go to a consulate to buy a visa
