Is it true that Israeli students can no longer get extensions for their student visas in Thailand?

Yossi Naim not only PLC. Many Chinese ED visa were denied and repatriated to China. They are from different language school in Pattaya. I asked them before they left. Some did not go to have class. All of them did not know they should go to Bangkok royal police for collecting fingerprint and hand over immigration. I think this is the school’s responsibility.

@Yossi *****

yes, maybe. You’d better confirm with PLC staff again. Any new information please also let me know. Because next month my ED visa need extend. Thanks!

@Yossi *****

that is all the school told me for extend visa.

@Yossi *****

and you must go to have class every time to sign the name. When immigration come to school to check and take photos.You must be in the photos.

@Yossi *****

I am also from PLC. The school gave us some documents to Bangkok royal office to collect fingerprint. You must go there. After 2 weeks go to take fingerprint documents. Immigration need it. It is very important.

@Yossi *****

which school you learn in ?

@Yossi *****

I am Chinese. Yes. Many Chinese ED visa can not get extend ED visa. Many Chinese with ED visa were denied to extend and returned to China. I do not how about Israelis. I asked my school. If you go to school for class and have class record (sign name every time)and take photos when you are in class every time. And go to Bangkok royal police to collect the fingerprint. Take back the fingerprint documents, hand over it to the immigration. Then you can get extend ED visa.

Right ok so you don't have a one year visa. You applied initially for a 3 month single entry non ED visa at an overseas consulate. Your permission of stay has been extended a few times since then by receiving 3 month extensions of stay. After a certain number of extensions, roughly totalling 8 months, Immigration will not extend further. Then you have to restart the process by applying for another single entry non ED overseas, and go to Level 2 of studies.

You have a 1 year extension of stay? Those are normally given for university studies.

@Yossi *****

You do what you should have done in the first place. Take the pile of docs from school, visit Immigration and apply for an extension?

Yossi Naim Well if this is really the case I would wait till you get some decent advice here from one of the mods in the first place... maybe that won't happen tonight but soonest in the morning,... nothing much you can do since it's weekend anyway.

@Yossi *****

Really? WTF! Why? Is this policy endorsed/backed by the Thai "government"? Do you have any hard evidence to back this up or is it hearsay?

Huh???
