What are the visa options for staying in Thailand for one more year at age 50, considering I am currently on an ED visa?

@Nigel *********************
 True. But with the US and many other countries being switched to electronic visa already, I wonder if a trip home would even still be technically necessary - given that it would all be online.

You could also marry or get / or make a Thai child - then you only need to put 400k baht in the bank. Or, change your gender and get married to a Thai man - no deposit in the bank then. Only men provide. 😉 Welcome to Thailand.

 Then that would be a yes on those METV. I suppose even e-visa. Try to get one online only via your consulate in the states.

What is your nationality? But yes, likely you could do Multi Entry Tourist Visa and then then do border runs like the younger folks.

Is it possible to apply for an education visa from outside Thailand as of now?
Frank-Steven ***********
For informal education it still appears to be not possible again. It seems they forgot to reinstate that. Only in-country change to ED.

Can I convert a COVID extension to a 1-month ED visa for my daughter?
Frank-Steven ***********
If a conversion in-country is (legally) possible does depend on the visa (or visa exemption) you had before the covid extension.

 Yes. They somehow forgot to revert that back with the opening after COVID. Thailand always some mess.
