Afternoon all, with the new E-visa recently introduced to most countries surrounding Thailand, how many days does it typically take for a 60 day Tourist Visa to be processed?

I have to exit Thailand and come back on an actual tourist visa (not visa exemption) so I can re-apply for the ED visa at Chaeng Watthana afterwards.

(I already had the ED visa before but my university didn't have the documents ready for my 6 months extension and now I have to leave the country and come back again after paying a 5 day overstay fine and getting a temporary 7 day extension).

The Thai E-visa website states it *could* take up to 15 days but I'm doubtful it would actually take that long?

Thinking of going to Kuala Lumpur or Cambodia to lodge the E visa application for tourist visa - does anyone have any recommendations?

Otherwise, a physical appointment at the Thai embassy in Vientiane, Laos may be a faster option?

What’s the difference with the ED visa for Muay Thai and the DTV for Muay Thai ? Since the stays are longer and over 5 years are gyms less strict with class attendance ?

If I am not asking this question correctly please forgive me.

ED Visa

When leaving and come back in to Thailand with a re-entry permit does your previous extension expiration date change or stay the same?

If I enter Thailand on an ED visa for studying Thai language and am subsequently accepted into a master’s program at a University, is it possible to apply for the necessary visa changes without leaving the country?

I was supposed to start my MBA in Bangkok next month but backed out due to personal reasons. Now I want to spend an extended amount of time “living” in the city to ensure I am truly willing to commit the next 2 years of my life to it. Hoping to experience this and start school (if that’s the path I choose) before May.

Hello, I'm cancelling my work permit and non-B and my child's Ed visa this week with immigration. We are then exiting to Cambodia to return back here on a tourist visa. I have an Australian passport and my child a British passport. I was told I get 30 days and she gets 60 days both with the visa waiver. I can then get another 30 days after that? We leave here for my new job at the very end of Jan. Is there anything else I need to do/think of? Do I need to lodge any paperwork for the tourist visa or anything? I'm at immigration this week and honestly, I'm worried they won't let us back in on a tourist visa and all my stuff in our house will be lost 🤣😂😅

Hi everyone, I m actually on ED Visa while earning money, and I’m now planning to apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) as a freelancer. My concern is whether the bank statement I provide, showing earnings during my time on the ED Visa, could impact my chances of getting approved for the DTV. Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice?

For those of you who have been asked to show all the pages of your passport for the DTV at HCMC or Hanoi, is this because you have ticket yes for “have you applied for a visa in Thailand before” and “have you visited Thailand before”?

Second part of this is have any of you applied via the workcation route and been on ED visas prior to this when sending this to the embassy, for example ED visa ending/cancelled and then going that route?

Wondering if that’s an issue.

Thanks in advance and I’m sure I’m asking on behalf of many in this group.

For changing from ed visa to non b, got cancellation letter from university in which last date is 20 December.

So go to immigration for cancellation in first week of December and then go to lao visa run first week and come back before 20 December. It is ok to enter with non b.

I am wandering ed visa cancellation is effective on date of going to immigration or 20 December.

Can anyone provide an example of an acceptance letter for soft power Muay Thai as Im not sure if my current gym is able to write this letter or not since they haven’t done it and they could happily do it for me.

Does the gym need a special certification for this letter?

If the gym can do a Muay Thai ED visa, can he also make the letter for this visa?

Thank you

What local IDs can I apply to get with my ed-visa? Can I open bank accounts ?
