(Except of Elite Visa)

The Clock is ticking and time goes quickly until

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks assistance regarding their expired ED visa (Educational Visa) that lapsed in August 2020. They are concerned about the impending deadline of September 26, 2020, after which they would be required to leave Thailand, and are looking for information on whether they can apply for a new ED visa locally or if alternative visa options are available, excluding the Elite visa. Various commenters provide suggestions, including contacting local schools for assistance with new visa applications, the possibility of a volunteer visa, and the general advice to act quickly before the deadline.

i would do if its for a good Price but i like i wrote its very expensive..

Around 500k THB

Write me on PM to talk more for that..

@Erik *********
as always "easy", is not cheap. But considering other options are 50k to 70k, for longer term stays and no worries for 5 or 10 years many people are going this way. Nothing secret here.

Elite Visa is easy. Let me know if you want to know more.

So my Last Information is that Work Permit / Non B and Non O Visa its not Possible to make right now..

That told me one Jurist Person.

Its very Strange now to wait until the new News from Bangkok if its possible to make a New ED Visa for 1 year if already the ED Visa for 1 Year in August or July Expired..

So Guys looks like is only Possible to make a new ED Visa by the University..

Thats the Only one Option or if you have enough money for Elite or Buissness Visa..

But that you have to pay around 15k Dollars 😬

I think to wait the new News from Bangkok for Expired 1 Year ED Visa its little bit Time Wasting..

The mood from Thailand looks not so good i think they will say if your 1 year ED already Expired go Home..and i nothing hear something on the News about that only they talking about when they will open the Border for international Tourists.. And this looks also not so good what i read in the News.

Sometimes they want open in January 2021 or now the latest news maybe on October.

They will have on 27th of August meeting and will talking about that.

Looks everything not so good for us.

I think you can make a volunteer visa without leave the country.

The govt will probably extend again, it's hard to imagibe they won't..

@Li ***
. Very unlikely I think considering unlike previous occasions they have now issued explicit instructions

Go to various schools in your area. They will sort out a visa for you.

Easy. Just go do some leg work

The advice from immigration was go and do your visa business NOW. Why are you waiting until September 26th? That's the day you have to leave

@Bobby *******
Can you tell me what is a OA Visa and how much Costs?

I'm Sorry im not so a Expert and Hero like you in that Case 😁
Li ****
@Bobby *******
people said that about July 31 but it got extended
Bobby ********
@Li ***
. The last time they didn't publish anything like this
Bobby ********
@Li ***
. Difference is this time they have published instructions on what to do before September 26
Darren *******
@Bobby *******
so he can complain how it's unfair, no notice, has to leave, no money for overstay fines, how he has to look after a sick buffalo etc etc etc
Bobby ********
@Darren ******
. His buffalo is dead mate. He's in denial. I know the feeling. He has to go to the immigration office at Nakhon Sakhon Pakhon. They deal with all the Buffalo medical extensions.
Darren *******
@Bobby *******
just having a long nap mate, that new iPad the owner got will magically wake it up soon

I think if visa expired and government already stated there will be no further extensions beyond the 26th September then anyone who does not have a valid visa will have to leave. The government may extend this amnesty again who knows.

Try an agent or go for elite. Appears to be your options other than going home
