How can my wife and I extend our travel visa in Thailand beyond November 17?

I'm going to shut this down. IF you and your husband want to study in Thailand, I highly recommend either asking on a local Facebook group, or contact schools close where you live for school recommendations.

The only non-formal subject that can be studied currently that qualifies for a visa to my knowledge is Thai language. A person can only acquire an ED visa to study Thai for a year.

I recommend starting this search as soon as possible. Some immigration offices require more time remaining on your existing "admitted to" stamp than other immigration office.

If I misunderstood the comment, please send a mod a message and we'll reopen the post for commenting. Thank you.

arrived 18 Oct, admitted to stay 17 Nov, this means you do not have a visa but used the 30 day visa exempt scheme. You can apply once for an Extension of Stay for another 30 days based on tourism at an Immigration Office in your area.

Regardless of what you have, you can get a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism at the local immigration office. You will need the following for each person:

1. Your passport and a copy of:

a. The data “picture” page.

b. The most recent visa (if applicable).

c. The most recent entry stamp or extension of stay (if applicable).

d. The departure card (“TM 6”) that should be stapled in the passport.

2. The extension of stay application form (“TM 7”).

3. A copy of the submitted Notification of Residence of Foreigners form ("TM 30”).

4. 2x passport sized (4cm by 6cm) photos.

5. 1,900 THB processing fee.

>We want to extend for as long as possible.

For what reason? For tourism, you can stay for an additional 30 days. If you have other reasons, and you meet the criteria, you can stay longer :)

The very first thing we need to establish is how you entered the country. Did you enter on visa exempt and get a stamp for 30 days? If so you don't have a Visa.

Visa exempt can be extended for 30 days at immigration for 1900₿ and a bunch of paperwork.

Or did you apply for and receive a Visa before you came to Thailand?

>Our travel visas expire on November 17. We want to extend for as long as possible

What is a "travel visa"? is this the "Admitted to" stamp that is placed in your passport on entry, or is this a full page sticker placed in your passport?
