ED visa holders, I need y’all’s recent experiences!

I’ve been in Thailand since March on my student visa, following all the proper rules, attending all my classes, and genuinely taking pride in learning Thai 😂❤️

I’m about to take my first little 2 day trip outside of Thailand and come right back! I’ve already gotten my re-entry stamp, and I’m honestly so excited for my mini getaway 🥹✈️

Of course, with all the recent immigration changes, I want to hear from people who’ve recently re-entered Thailand on an ED/student visa. how was your experience? Any advice or surprises? Share your experiences

Lowkey, if they test my Thai, I’m excited to put my little skills to work 🤣🇹🇭📚
Answer summary
A user shared their upcoming experience of traveling outside Thailand on an ED/student visa and is seeking advice from others who have recently re-entered under similar circumstances. They have obtained a re-entry stamp and are enthusiastic about applying their Thai language skills. Comments from the community highlight the importance of having a letter from the school principal and mention that immigration officials may test language proficiency upon arrival.

You'll be on an extension of stay not a visa but regardless you need to be very careful leaving Thailand if you are meant to be studying. Immigration don't like it so make sure you have a letter from the principal of your school giving permission and his phone number in case you need it which can help

@John *********
thanks! I have a holiday letter from my school for extra support but still trying to see if a 2 day trip is worth the hassle. I haven’t missed a day of classes/study and trip won’t interfere with class day but still wanting to hear everyone’s experiences!

you won't have any problems for just two days. Nothing has changed concerning ED visas.
