Hi everyone, i would like to ask. I am a Singapore passport holder who came in to Bangkok as a tourist with 30 days stamp and then i applied for extension (paid 1900 baht) for another 30 days. My visa ends on 9 June. Qns, as i applied to study Thai in a school. I waited so long for them to process my visa while i am in Bkk. They told me that to leave Bkk before 9 June and come back on 12 June with a new 30 day tourist stamp and then meet them at immigration so they can change my visa from tourist to education. I am confused with the system. Will the airport immigration deny me entry? Seeing i had been in Bkk for like 60 days as tourist and then just gone for a few days and coming back again as a tourist?
Answer summary
The user seeks clarification on the immigration process after staying in Thailand for 60 days on a tourist visa. They are advised to leave and return for a new tourist stamp to facilitate a change to an education visa, with one comment confirming there should be no entry issues if this is the only time they've visited Thailand this year.

You need at least 3 weeks left on your stay to be able to apply for an ED visa at immigration so what they told you is correct.

If the 60 days you just spent in Thailand is the only time you've been in Thailand this year, you shouldn't have any issues.

Hmm in my passport, i have stamps since last year august, i come to Bkk every month for 3-5 days. Only on april onwards, i decided to stay 30 days and extended another 30 days till 9 june. Would there be issues for me entering?
