Hi everyone,

Have anyone got asked the second times to upload all pages of the passport from Jakarta Embassy?

I already submitted all the passport pages that included all stamps on it but the embassy asked it again with this note:

Please upload all pages of your passport not skipping any pages.

P.S - I used to stay with Non-ED visa for 8 months.

My visa was expired on 25 Apr 2025 but I leaved the country on 20 Apr 2025 without cancelling it.

Maybe they can't find the cancellation stamp for the ED visa?

I have reqeusted the cancellation letter to the school. But they can only provide on tomorrow.

What should I do in that situration?

Should I write cover letter that I already asked for cancellation letter and I will cancel it as soon as I get back to Thailand?

Any suggestion would be really appreciated.

Just got my Canadian passport renewed from Canada consulate in BKK and delivered to me in Chiang Rai. I have the previous, now cancelled passport. Do I need to go to immigration and get the new passport updated with current stamp?

Greetings. My sister is a new fellow in Siriraj who just arrived last week (1st arrival in thailand, in Don Mueang airport). By fellow, her medical training here will last for a year.

She was about to open a bank account and upon reviewing her documents, she was told by the bank that her stamp upon entry was wrong, because it was stamped as a tourist entry, not as a non-immig ED entry, so her stamp states a date that is shorter than her visa, and should have it corrected. The international affairs office just told her to go back to the immigration office and have it corrected but didn't give her any more specific instructions. We tried going back but they wouldn't understand us, and said we cannot enter the immigration office.

Her educ visa is an e-visa because that is what they provided her upon application.

We were given a number to call but no one understands us. Would anyone happen to have an idea how we could have this resolved? We were told we have to correct it asap. Thank you very much.

Holding a non-ED student visa. If I leave Thailand without re-entry visa, my student visa got automatically canceled. So, I won't have to go immigration to officially cancel it before applying DTV.

Correct ?

Question about switching international schools while on Non-Ed student and Non-O guardian visas:

My child and I currently have a Non-ED and Non-O guardian visa, and we are on our first 1 year extension now. We are thinking of moving to a different international school in another province in Thailand for the next school year. Can I just get the documentation from the new school showing that my child has been accepted and we’ve paid the new school fees and “update” our existing visas (since the school switch would take place before the next 1 year renewal) to reflect the new school information and our new address or would we have to start over from scratch, from outside Thailand?

Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

Hope this question is allowed.

May I know when I should file for TM47? I tried to submit the form in person today, but the officer put 11/3/25 on the form and told me to come back later. I would like to confirm the possible date for submission.

I entered Thailand with TR visa on 5th March. and changed to non-ed on 17th April. Isn't the 90 days count started from 5th March? Or is it reset to count from 17th April?

Information for educational visa in thailand.

There are two types one is for university study and the one I am giving information on is "Soft Power Education" this includes thai boxing language and such

There is two things to this. The soft power education visa is permission from the Educational Ministry to learn for one year.

What you get from immigration is a 3 month stamp that you have to extend with fee 1900 baht ( 50 USD ) also ontop of this you still have to check in every 90 days which can be done on an app on your phone or in-person at immigration office.

If you miss extension or have to leave for any reason and you mis the time frame to extend you have to start back over and the educational visa is 20,000 baht .. ( 500 )

I just did this today and was given full explanation by the school doing my visa.

Hope this helps someone else 🙏 and I was explained that bank accounts are not given for these soft power education or hard to get just FYI

Hello everyone, I have a question about my visa status. I am now on non-ed visa. In case of dismissal from school, does my visa automatically canacel or can I stay till my visa validity.

I am working in a reputed company as head of the dept. My contract is valid till 31 May and visa ending on 04 June 2025. Recently I moved my family to Thailand on Non O, 3 months visa which is ending on 07th April. Now to get the extension I need documents from the company which they are denying as we have mutually agreed to part ways after 31st May. I have tried to change the visa from Non O to Non ED via school where I have enrolled my kids but they are saying immigration cannot transfer Non O to Non ED without exiting the country and coming back either on tourist visa which is not feasible due to the high cost.

What are my legal options? I m still the employee till 31st May and cannot get the new job before that so I cannot sponsor my family which is a bit stressful. Isn't it against the basic human rights?

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV visa application for Myanmar passport holders.

I am currently in Thailand on a Non-ED visa and working remotely for a foreign firm. I plan to switch to DTV (Workcation category) soon. However, my passport is expiring soon, and I need to renew it before applying.

The only way I can renew my passport in Bangkok is to change from a PV (Visit Passport) to a PJ (Job Passport) for some reason through an agent.

For any Myanmar nationals who have successfully applied for DTV, does the passport type (PJ) matter? Has anyone faced issues because of their passport type when applying for DTV?

Would appreciate any insights.
