How can I obtain an Education Visa in Thailand while under automatic visa extension or amnesty?

@Jennifer *******

why use an agent. The paperwork isn't hard to sort out

I guess the problem is that if you are on amnesty you cannot legally convert to a visa as you do not have a visa anymore. Thus the B 14 k is for tea money.

more than likely. There's going to be a lot of people up shit creek on the 31 July if the borders open and they force all those of amnesty to clear out, even more so if they need special permission to re enter and have 2 weeks on boiled rice in quarantine when allowed in.

I think they will only end amnesty when international flights are readily available and land borders are open. Say for example an foreigner cant return to his/her home country I think further extensions will be given based on embassy letters. For those on amnesty open land borders will mean easy visa runs. They are pragmatic and do not want to chase people/money away when they know it will be difficult to get more tourists in. I think they will create a mini Asean bubble which will allow border/visa runs (most use Laos and Vietnam). This way they can retain "clean" tourist which pose a minimum health risk. My thoughts which is not worth much.

@Jennifer *******

And it can not be done without an agent?

@Maria **********

nope cause I ain’t used any of them but there are loads of ads on Facebook and a school in chaing mai or the visa centre .. but I can’t recommend any of them as I ain’t used them

from the agent

@Jennifer *******

ok understand. It's the agent fee to be able to get the visa without going out of country. Which agent?
