My student visa is expiring on the 23rd of December. Should I go to immigration and get an amnesty stamp? Any advise is appreciated.

Answer summary

The user is facing an upcoming expiration of their student visa on December 23 and is considering whether to seek an amnesty stamp. Community responses clarify that the amnesty assistance ended on October 31, and suggest applying for a visa extension instead, which typically costs 1,900 baht. There's consensus that it's crucial to act promptly to avoid overstaying and to check with the local immigration office regarding extension options, especially since the visa was issued in a different province.

Amnesty is over. If you don't go to immigration to apply for any kind of extension, you will be on overstay.

I guess the best way is to get an extension from current Ed visa. Or apply for an extension due to unable to travel because of Covid-19.

You may need to check with your local immigration office if you can apply there in case your current visa was issued in another province.

Or, as

@James *******

has suggested, extend your student visa whilst you can. The covid extensions will eventually stop

Amnesty is over. Finished October 31. You now have to pay for a covid extension. 1900 baht for up to 60 days

If its expiring...yes go before it expires to your local immigration office.

Was the student visa extension obtained at the same immigration office where you live now ?

I ask because it appears you were lucky to obtain an Ed visa inside Thailand a few months ago.

If you have a Ed visa, why not extend it ? Easy to do with your school assist and the immigration extension fee is only 1,900 Thai baht.
