Thanks in Advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about extending their Student Visa in Thailand, questioning whether it can be done directly at immigration for a cheaper fee of 1,900 THB instead of the 5,000 THB charged by the school. In response, a commenter clarifies that it is not possible to extend the visa without the necessary school documentation, which is required to complete the extension process.

the school gives it all to you. You don't do anything except take it to immigration. As I said it's 100% not something you can do yourself. It's about the school and it's business permits and teacher licenses and all kinds of stuff.

No, you cannot do an ED extension without the school. They have to provide you a very large amount of paperwork to take to immigration with you for your extension.

They are charging you 5000₿ because they can. My school didn't charge anything for extension, just provided the paperwork to me and sent me to immigration where I paid 1900₿ to the immigration office directly.
