Is it still possible to get an ED Visa at the moment? I guess that would be an option to stay longer in Thailand without having to leave the country.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The possibility of obtaining an ED Visa currently depends on finding an open school in Thailand, enrolling, and completing the necessary paperwork before applying at a Thai consulate.

Wouldn’t you still have to leave and apply for the Ed visa at a Thai Embassy in another country?
