Just a heads up for people with children who are applying for an extension...my husband and I just got our extensions yesterday but we brought our baby with us. The officials tell you that you do in fact need to extend for everyone, including babies. I'm assuming from what I've read on here, that it is technically required, although many people just don't do it because there is no fine up until about 14 years old. We didn't do it for our baby but may go back and do it, if it will cause problems down the line. Is it truly OK not to get baby an extension and then come back next year? If anyone is attempting this, I suggest not bringing the baby or child with you.

Is it possible to apply for an education visa, and after that for an Elite visa? I have read that this might be difficult to obtain and wondering if that is true and also why? Tnx folks

do you need a sponser to get a 6 month education visa ? im after training muay thai over there, can i apply for it myself or does a gym/sponser have to do it for me ?
