How can I obtain a second-year ED visa in Thailand and is it possible to switch to a tourist visa if denied?

@Tod ********

I understand. But my friend's last ED visa date was actually more than 365 days ago. Still, Vientiane officials, you got an ED visa here last year. So I can't accept it here this year. This year you need to get it in your country or get it in another country. It seems that said. I don't know if the official made the wrong date or made a new promise that he couldn't get ED visas continuously in the same place.

@Robert ******

Thank you for that information.

@Ellie ******

Is that so. I understand. Thank you very much.

Anyway, I gave up trying to challenge Vientiane. To be honest, I don't know where to go. Here I have to make my own decisions with reference to the advice I received from everyone, but it is difficult. Thank you for your response.

It may be a misunderstanding or misunderstanding of the officer's date

My acquaintance was unlucky

@Amornrat *********

Thank you for information. My acquaintance more than 365 days after getting last year's ED visa was rejected despite having enough blank pages in the passport and officially prepared documents. I have heard three times that others have the same experience.

@Robert ******

Anyway, the rules seem to change every day. Even if others are successful, it can be overturned in a few days. When my turn came, I thought I had to move on like a kind of gambling.

@Robert ******

When is your understanding? I understood the same until very recently. However, my acquaintance's passport had enough blank pages. And the school documents were fine. The executive said, “I got an ED visa last year in Vientiane. I can't apply this year. It's impossible to continue. You need to apply for a different country.” This happened just three days ago.

I don't want to believe it, but it's a real story.

@Ellie ******

I heard that I cannot get an ED visa twice in a row Vientiane.

In fact, my acquaintance was rejected for the same reason. He was over 365 days old but refused.

I'm not sure if this is true in other countries.

@Jo ********

That is very specific advice for me. I'm really thankful to you.

Amornrat Mattioli & James Miller Thank you for your response.

@James *******

I see. But it also seems difficult.555

Therefore, as I wrote in the first sentence, I want to know if a tourist visa can be processed immediately if an ED visa is denied. Do you know that information?

@James *******

Thank you very much.

Thai is difficult and cannot be learned in a year. So I wanted to go to a Thai language school for about 2 to 3 years. But I am disappointed to know that it is very difficult. Your help and advice will be helpful.

Thanks for other people's replies.

@James *******

I am not very good at English. Is it difficult to understand? I'm sorry

@James *******

On weekdays, I took Thai classes every day.

My ED visa expired in early August. So I got out of Thailand. And immediately returned. This is no visa. You can stay for 30 days with no visa, but it will be renewed for another 30 days.

@James *******

Thank you very much.

I'm sorry for the lack of information.

My nationality is Japan, and the ED visa I got last year has already expired. I have never obtained a tourist visa. I went from Thailand to another country last month. Therefore, I am currently staying without a visa and can only stay for 60 days.

The school is Bangkok. The school does not give me information about which country is better. I think there is little information or too much information. So they may not be confident to advise me where to go. So I asked this question.

Thank you for much information. Thank you in advance. Thank you
