What options do I have for extending my Non-Immigrant ED visa while recovering in the US?

@Rebecca ********

If you have all the correct documentation from where you are studying then you should be able to apply for the ED visa in the US.

Please explain how you can cancel an extention of stay that has already expired and how you can be on overstay if you're not in the country

Don't know what I am talking about ? I started this group because I was fairly knowledgeable. :-)

2 things, how can you cancel an that has expired and you can not be fined for overstay for a previous expired extension when you are out of the country. And you enter with another valid permission of stay.

Lloyd Turner sorry your are perfectly wrong and don’t know what you are talking about, the fact that she has departed Thailand does not automatically cancel the extension of stay!

The normal, and expected process, is for the foreigners to cancel the ED extension of stay BEFORE they leave Thailand - obviously in this case it didn’t happen as she expected to return...but the extension of stay MUST always be cancelled...so on return she must cancel it!

I myself, was outside Thailand when my previous ED extension of stay expired and on my return (with a new visa) I needed to go to immigration and obtain the cancellation stamp.

I was advised by Tod to do this, and in doing so avoided an overstay fine! Immigration confirmed I would have been fined if I had not done this - when I next reported to them!

Expire and CANCEL are not one in the same - it MUST be cancelled!

You should not give advice when you are simply guessing!

@Glen ********

no reason to try and cancel the previous extension, it has expired. Overstay! Stop right there, she is outside Thailand when the extension expires, the will never be any overstay.
