ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, 

I just spoke with 2 language schools in Pattaya and they said if you do a covid extension you can not transfer to an ED visa in country.  I have not gotten a covid extension yet, I am due to extend my TR visa for 30 days in early June

also the total cost with classes for visa,extensions and class for 9 months was 49,000thb.  Any suggestions on other options or cheaper schools?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice regarding the transition from a COVID extension to an ED visa while in Pattaya, highlighting that two language schools advised that such a transfer is not possible. They are looking for alternative options or more affordable language schools, given the cost of 49,000 THB for a 9-month program and associated visa extensions.
