Has anyone applied for an ED visa at the Royal Thai Consulate Los Angeles recently? I have a few questions about the process. It states on the website a flight going to Thailand is required, but I would like to have my visa approved before I purchase a ticket. Also would the flight leaving Thailand need to be within 90 days? I am not planning to leave the country and would like to extend my ED visa for another 90 days x 3 when I enter the kingdom. Last question is it possible to only pay by money order at the consulate. Thanks for the help.
