ORIGINAL POSTER

I had an education visa made in September 2020 and I got the stamp in image 1 as well as the normal stamp for 3 months.

However, this year, when renewing my ED visa with another school, I only got the stamp in image 2 for a year.

Is this normal? Maybe the stamp in image 1 is only for the very first time? Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary

When renewing an education visa in Thailand, it is normal to receive a different stamp compared to the first issuance. The first stamp typically indicates an in-country visa, while the later stamp represents an extension of stay based on education, which can be valid for one year.
