Hello everyone ..
I am an Egyptian citizen currently on a student visa in thailand that ends on september .. so i went to another school to get a different course visa and everything is fine so far on their side as im applying now to skip the 45 days ministry of education time .. but to get the new visa i have to leave thailand and in malaysia they told me i need to wait there also for 45 days to get the ministry of foreign affairs approval
My country isnt exempted from visa in thailand so i need to get a sticker on my passport before getting here unlike other countries that dont need a visa to thailand they can just get their visa done in malaysia in a few days .
Does anyone know a way to get this done without having to fly back to Egypt "long distance" specially from non visa free nationalities? Or is it possible to get foreign affairs approval while in thailand?
TLDR : Answer Summary
An Egyptian citizen on a student visa in Thailand is seeking alternatives to leaving the country for a visa change due to lengthy processing times for approvals. Currently, they must leave Thailand and face additional waiting periods in Malaysia for their new visa, which is complicated by their non-exempt nationality. They are inquiring about potential options to avoid returning to Egypt or whether foreign affairs approval can be obtained while still in Thailand.
