I’m currently driving from Pattaya to Bangkok to apply for an ED Thai visa in Bangkok. I plan on moving there in less than two weeks when my ED visa is issued... is that okay? I only got 20 days of visa extension left so I thought I should apply for the ED visa first before signing a 12 month lease contract in Bangkok
