Hello, last month I received a one-month extension to my 2-month visa. I was told by immigration authorities that I can apply for a COVID-19 extension for one more month, which I intend to do. However, I asked my landlord to obtain a TM30 a bit late and today they told me it may take up to a week. With 3-day public holidays starting next week, I am a bit worried that I may be late with my application. My visa ends on 17 July.

My question is whether it would be acceptable for me to go to the immigration office without the TM30 and to ask them to check on the basis of my address to see that the TM is in the process of approval. Thank you very much for any advice you may offer.

Hi, applied for E-visa (TR), Ottawa embassy 10 days ago.....still "processing". Should I be concerned? Flight is Jan 18.

It looks like now I need a background check from the Royal Thai police to get an education visa from the consulate/embassy.

Has anyone had to do this? It looks like they’re just doing a background check on my history in Thailand. But I’m worried because I have a misdemeanor paraphernalia charge for having a small amount of Cannibis 🍁 years ago in the United States.

It’s going to change my plans a lot if I can’t return to Thailand on an education visa. I might decide to stay in Bali or Cambodia instead.

Thank you all for your help 😊🙏🏼💗
