Hi , i need a solution for an education visa based in Bangkok. Normally i wanted to Apply for a Non-Immigrant Visa O since i have a thai son. But since my ex wife could not make it on time, i need to find annother solution now.

My friend is a pilot based from Thailand but currently stuck in Hong Kong and before Covid he came and went on 30 visa exempt stamps. His wife and daughter are in Thailand, wife has guardian visa as daughter is at an international school. Non of them are Thai nationals. 2 questions

1) Could he get an Ed visa in Hong Kong to re-enter Thailand (I think probably not)

2) If he couldn't would it be possible for his wife to transfer her guardian visa to an Ed visa within Thailand so he could then apply for a guardian visa and reenter Thailand?

My 30 day visa extension expires Tuesday and rather than leaving Thailand for another country wanted to know if it's possible to hire a service to obtain a SETV. I'm currently in Chiang Mai.
