Hello, I've a question about a case with ED visa that was commented earlier by Robert Lagas but futher commenting was closed:
"There is no 7 day extension available in Thailand...I would advice leave the country after these 360 days for a short holiday..."
Robert, is there any specific reason why you adviced to not use 7 day extension even if it's technically not extension?
I will have the same case in several months and I wouldn't like to stay in Laos 7 days unless it affects somehow my chances to enter Thailand. Thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around the utilization of a 7-day extension for an Education (ED) visa in Thailand. Robert Lagas advises against relying on such an extension, emphasizing that the ED visa is meant for study rather than prolonged residency. After 360 days in Thailand, he suggests leaving the country instead of risking a denied stamp by trying to stay for an extra week. Users discuss concerns about applying for a new ED visa in Vientiane or Savannakhet, with caution advised due to changing visa policies and potential complications related to linked passports.
