What are the options for expats on an Ed visa in Thailand regarding their stay and renewal process?

There are many here on Ed visas that ran out during Amnesty. Even if not favourable news and not withstanding announcement in July, immigration usually make some announcement within days of each Amnesty ending.

Where did the high spender

@Ato *****

go? he hasn't weighed in once in these comments. :O Out spending his money no doubt showing thailand how much he contributes :P

You'd get better responses if you were a lot more clear as to your current situation and visa and what your aim with the whole thing is and what issues you are having.

You say you are "currently here on an Ed visa". If that is actually true, none of any of this stuff with amnesty and 26 September affects you at all, you are currently here on Ed visa and should just continue renewing that as normal.

If something else is the case, like you were here on an Ed, and it ran out, you need to be more specific. People aren't mind readers and you'll get even more crap unhelpful comments from the usual suspects than normal.

From his lack of response to posters efforts to help, it would seem he has no interest.

Show us your money pal...money talks, bullshit walks!

5 me's and 2 I's in that ramble!! Egocentric or what!!!

well said, the reality of.the situation is not reflected accurately by the demands of current protocol

High spender, no problem to get Thai Elite Visa, or work with an agent to sort out visa. 60k baht or so and your are good mate! Easy to do and perfect time to stay here and spend the $

When does your ed visa finish?

If you got money why dont you get an elite visa

Almost NO time left... Prepare for some very busy & expensive days with agents...

You have been here 6 years on student visas? When do you become Dr. Thed?

I don't know if you asked this question in another group, or if it's someone in a similar situation, bit there HAS been an announcement, which covered every situation. About six weeks ago. Please don't tell me you've done nothing in that time to secure your position here. Claiming to be a "high spender" means absolutely nothing to Thai immigration. You need to be visiting immigration to look at your available options.

Are you a student or tourist?

The ministry of education wrote a letter to immigration 11 Aug asking them to start issuing Ed visas in country. To date it still hasn’t been approved.
