Hi everyone,
I am in a complicated situation and feeling a bit lost, would very much appreciate your help!
I am on Ed visa expiring on 14th October. I got a letter from my embassy about covid situation to request an extension. I went to chaeng Wattana today. Officer said, that I should get a letter from my school to cancel my ed visa and switch to covid visa. So it's not going to be an extension as I hoped. Officer suggested me to come back again between 20th to 26th September to issue this. However I asked my questions there, I couldn't get much of an explanation, probably caused by miscommunication.
Is my visa going to be cancelled on a date that papers were stamped for or is it going to be cancelled on the day I go to Chaengwattana? Because if it's gonna get cancelled on the day I go there, on the dates she suggested me to come back I am losing about 3 weeks from my visa, which I'd love to preserve if possible but I don't know how long the process may take, how long before I have to do it... In the other hand if I leave this process to last few days to use my visa more and somehow end up getting rejected I definitely couldn't arrange a trip back to Turkey in a few days :S (I am a Turkish passport holder.)
My other question is how long this covid visa is? Is it 3 months or only a month?? Or even if it's for a month is it easy to keep extending it? How does it work? Ideally I would like to stay in Thailand until March or February, which is not much actually after my visa runs out in mid October.
If I could follow up Level 3 with my language school, paper work could have been much easier but it's quite expensive and I am not in a financially comfortable place at the moment. I heard about Muay Thai visas, are there any cheap options? Or I heard about volunteering visas but couldn't learn much about it yet, do you know how do they work?
Thank you so much if you read this so far! <3 I know it's way too long! :'(
ANY SUGGESTIONS???
Much obliged! πππ
