What updates are there regarding extending an education visa in Thailand for a second year?

I'm in the same position as you.I don't know what bullshit some comments have been made. There is no answer right now. As you have to leave Thailand and come back in on a 30 day/ tourist visa and then your school has to apply for the second year educational visa to immigration office.

That's a fact.

And right now you can leave but not re-enter the country.

Emirates Airlines resumes flights to Bangkok

Dubai (WAM) Emirates Airlines announces resumption of daily flights to Bangkok According to a statement issued by the airline on Thursday, the resumption of flights to Bangkok will expand Emirates Airlines' network to 78 cities in the world in September. The airline will allow passengers from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific to fly from Dubai to Thailand. Economy class seats will be available. According to the flight schedule resumed from September 1, EK384 will depart from Dubai at 1:55 pm daily and land in Bangkok at 11:30 pm. The same flight EK385 will depart Bangkok at 3:25 pm local time and return to Dubai at 6:35 pm local time. The statement said that passengers bound for Bangkok have been charged by the Thai authorities. Terms and requirements must be met.

If you have actually been going to school there should be no problem, as an ED visa has to be extended at immigration every 90 days, with the paperwork your school gives you, showing you have been in school. This 90 day extension process continues as long as you are in school, up to three years. There is no new visa requirement, as long as you have been in school. If you are in a language school, expect the immigration officer to test you on how much formal spoken Thai you now know, if in fact you have been going to school. If you haven't, and you do not have the 90 day extensions in your passport, you are in serious trouble, as you do not fall under this amnesty, and your visa expired right after you missed the first 90 day extension. Your school is very aware of all this. If you used an agent, then you still must have each 90 day extension in your passport. There is no letter your embassy can give you saying anything about you qualifying for an ED visa extension.

I would suggest your school should have everything under control. There should be no need for an extension letter.

Unless you are changing to a different school.
