Hi!🌴

Currently on a Non-Immigrant ED Visa due to exchange study’s from Sweden at Chulalongkorn University. But the visa expires 31 December 2022.

Is it possible to extend Non-immigrant ED visa even if my master will be finished in December? Or is there any other extensions possible?

We are granted Visa through the school but it expires 31 December. I wanted to stay in Phuket for New Year’s Eve but as it looks like now I have to leave Thailand 31 december and cannot get back until 1 January. If I would leave and come back before 31 December I would still be on the same visa.

Thanks in advance!

Dear Team,

I am currently in the process of changing universities. The current ED cancellation letter is dated 31 May. Can I apply for a COVID extension before that date (I understood the present COVID extension ends on 28 May) to bridge the time until the new university will issue my ED visa? Or do I have to cancel it on the exact same day as stated in the letter? For clarification: there will be approximately a 2-weeks gap from the old ED to the new one, and I am looking for options to not overstay.

Thank you in advance for your kind support.

Is it true that since the pandemic started, a new rule has been brought in to make it impossible to get a new year of ED visa when the current visa expires, without leaving the country?

Looking at the lack of open borders, and the cost of quarantine both to get back in here and to get anywhere else before that, with the mental health implications of 28 days in isolated quarantine, am I missing something or are they trying to make sure there are no foreign students left in the country after 12 months except those who can afford investment or elite visa. I heard volunteering is the latest trend as a way around this but a senior immigration officer warned me against it because with such a flooding of volunteer applications will come tighter controls and many rejections... thoughts?

# BANGKOK IMMIGRATION ONLY

People on ED visa extensions are now being asked for the receipt of having filed a TM.30 before they can get their next extension.

People who have the TM30 receipt get their extension like normal.

People who don't have it are given a 30 day "extension under consideration" stamp and told to file a TM.30 then come back with the receipt to get the rest of the 30 day extension

FWIW:, most students in private schools in Bangkok only get 60 day extensions based on education.

I made this post to share information only, which is why I am closing comments.

Hi, I've tried to sort out my guardian visa this week without success (Promenada, Chiang Mai). There are always too much people in the queue in front of me and only the first 60 are served in a day. Today at 6 o'clock I would have been the 68th. I asked the first one and she has been sitting there since yesterday 2pm. Ouch. There are lots of CMU students. I don't know whether this peak is 'normal' in this season but definitely don't want to go there a day before. In fact I still have some time to get my visa. Does anyone know more about this crazy?
