TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the legitimacy of Elite International's visa services for extending a visa in Thailand. Comments caution against potential scams and suggest directly visiting the Immigration office, indicating that visa extension is generally straightforward and inexpensive.

Visa extension is easy and costs just 1900B. Go to your Immigration office and they will give you the requirements list.

Ok, you may; but anything unclear, do ask the group because there are far more knowledgeable people than I. Also, do use the search function, especially about the border bounces. Rather dynamic, that; with some being much more difficult than others.

Before deciding, do go to immigration for more information.

Are you a parent of the original post's author?

There's no indication of how long she's been in LOS on an Ed visa, is there?

How much longer does she(or the original post's author) hope to remain in LOS?

In any case, one may attempt a border bounce, but best to avoid PoiPet.

Laos is generally easier at the moment.

Naturally, one's individual history with immigration will be the major factor; at the sole discretion of the officer one is in front of.

For any border bounce------->>>

Best to have the 3 proofs:

hotel booking for a few days

onward travel reservation within 45 days

20,000 thb or equivalent in $ ยฃ โ‚ฌ in CASH is needed.

YMMV

Hi Graham, thank you for helping us. My 21 year old daughter is on ed visa that expires in one week. We are American. Do you recommend we do a border bounce or visit immigration for an extension? The confusing thing about the border bounce/visa run is that being American and visa exempt she doesn't need to 'apply' for a visa...is that correct? So if she doesn't need to apply are we simply going to the border, stamping out, stamping back in?

Yes,US passport will get a Visa Exempt entry currently 45 days which can be extended a further 30 days, no Visa necessary

Beware of FAKE Accounts on FB pages...lots of scammers when it comes to visa processing.. seek help directly from Immigration and friends who had the same dillema & were able to find legit visa offices.๐Ÿ™
