Will having multiple visa extension stamps in my passport affect my application for a visa in HCMC?

Feb 12, 2025

Hello guys, at HCMC I just got a request for more documentation to prove my current location. They asked for a scan of the passport full book including empty pages.

In my passport I have some visa extensions from my ED visa. Do you guys think it would be an issue having those stamps, being the last extension valid until feb 15th (non multiple entry)?

Thanks in advance :)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about their visa application at HCMC due to existing visa extension stamps in their passport. Despite having a last extension valid until February 15th, they inquire if this will pose a problem for their new visa request, which requires documentation of their location. Comments suggest that the extensions shouldn't be an issue for the application, but emphasize the importance of providing the necessary passport pages to enhance the chances of approval.

Does it matter? Supply your passport pages and you stand a good chance of getting the visa. Don't supply them and you have no chance

Curious - when did you submit your application and how long have you had the ED?

Not an issue. Many people keep their extensions alive in case the visa is refused, and then officially cancel it once they get back into Thailand. If I read your post correctly and you didn't have an reentry permit then your extension is automatically void when you left Thailand. Tho you may need to officially cancel it at immigration with a letter from your school.

there is a difference if they were on a visa, as opposed to an extension.

Thank you for your response, I have the documentation from my school for cancelling the extension. I will have it ready in case immigration asks for it when entering Thailand :)

Has your ED visa already been cancelled or is it still active?
