Okay, so I applied for a student visa and I had to leave the country for a family emergency. The language school emailed me and said I was approved after I came back into Thailand. Of course, I told them that I left and they told me that I have to start the student visa process all over again. I am a dumbass, I should have asked them. So I paid the 2000 baht to reapply. But this time, the education ministry might not give me an approval. Please let me know what you think and I might have to have a plan B to stay in the country if I do not get approved. Thank you in advance.
