Has anyone applied for an education visa whilst being in Thailand? Can I ask what documentation is needed?

I did my drinving license 2 years ago on a tourist visa (still have tourist) and wanted to get the renewal done for the 5 year one so i can get an IDP. They say with a tourist visa you can only extend for another 2 years, not 5 - therefore they wont give an IDP. Anz idea on how i can get an IDP from thailand with a tourist visa? And if not, any idea which visa would be fast to acquire so i can make an IDP? Thanks

In order to respond to all those who asked me what additional documents the embassy asked me for before approval, see the summary of requirements below:

Requested Documents:

1. Biodata page of your passport

2. Official bank statement issued directly by your bank (via official website or physical branch).

Must include: your full name as account holder, transaction history, and most updated balance.

Note Screenshots are not accepted.

3. Proof of current location in Spain. Examples include: electricity bill, municipal registration certificate (padrón), or rental agreement under your name.

4. Proof of last 3 self-employment payments (autónomo). Official receipts or confirmations of your last three freelance/self-employed tax or social security contributions.

5. Concise overview of your professional activities in Thailand. A short explanation of my business or professional engagements during my stay in Thailand.

Include how you will generate income while residing there.

6. Concrete evidence of your job. Documents that demonstrate and verify your professional status (portfolio, client list, contracts, content, etc.).

Same day border hoppers – those obtaining extra time in Thailand by crossing briefly into Cambodia or another neighbouring country – do have to fill in the online TDAC form whilst waiting an hour or two before returning here. Those travelling with an agency may find the TDAC form is filled in by accompanying staff, but those travelling alone will need to deal alone with the new bureaucracy.

Most of those undertaking border runs are Destination Thailand Visa holders seeking another six months’ sojourn, visa-exempt foreigners looking for a further 60 days and some multiple entry non-immigrant visa holders who must leave Thailand after three months stay. Immigration officers at land entry points say that the rules and regulations for border hops are under review by a governmental working party examining visa exempt regulations and their many repercussions. For now, there are no national changes.

In other developments, foreign visitors at Thai airports who have not filled in the TDAC in advance may find computer desks and helpful officers on duty to assist the forgetful and the computer illiterate. The foreign affairs ministry has stated again that the TDAC has to be filled in 72 hours or less (not more) prior to arrival in Thailand. In general, inauguration day on May 1 went smoothly at airports and land and sea entry points, although some passengers believed they must print the confirmatory email to give to the immigration officer on arrival. In fact, it is OK simply to show him or her the email on your mobile phone.

Foreign visitors are reminded by the Thai cyber police about fake websites which charge a processing fee for completing TDAC before absconding with people’s biometric information and credit or debit card details. Investigations are underway and at least one fake site has been blocked already. The legitimate TDAC service is presently free but must be repeated before every entry to Thailand.

Hi everyone

If you're on a non-immigrant 1 year visa (retirement) with multiple entries.

Q. How long can you exit Thailand for?

Q. If for example, you had to return to your home country (Australia) for family reasons for a while (6 months), providing you fly back to Thailand for your 90-day reporting is this, OK?

Q. In example above does this change if you need to do your I year application again during this period?

TIA
