when you are taking zoom classes online you can do that. My school was not offering in person classes until January.

My last class was in person during the month of January and obviously had to be here in town for that.

Why are you trying to belittle me while I am asking for help?

@Eileen *******
that seems to be my best option. I'm going to start on that right away as I have 6 weeks before my current extension ends.

2 zoom classes while being deaf in left ear does not help while also having double deficit dyslexia does not make it easy to study in English let alone a different language.

I might look into taking Muay Thai classes to get an ED Visa since that is allowed here.

I wouldn't know who to bribe and how much.

I guess I can look into that but what can an agency do that I can't do on my own?

I believe March 24th is the last day for the another covid extension. If let's say on March 20th I fly out to Vietnam and stay there for 3 weeks. Do I just fly back in the Thailand and have them stamp my passport as if I am a tourist and then get a 60 day Visa that is extendable for an additional 30 days and then repeat the process one again before I come back.

My concern is no matter what length of time I'm gone for whether it's a day or a month I will have to go back in the quarantine for 2 weeks. Is that how that will work?

I'm new to this. What is an METV? I've always wanted to go to Vietnam. I know they have a three day quarantine and then I could stay for a few weeks and possibly come back. I just don't know if I have to deal with the Thai embassy again or if I could just go to Vietnam for several weeks and fly back into Thailand.

So what happens if I go there for a second extension which I believe ends in March and they deny it? I would have 7 days to leave the country and then I would have to fill out paperwork to come back in? I would have to leave the country and come back in on a tourist visa?

I took three courses over a five-month period. And for me it wasn't that easy to pass. 3 hours a day 5 days a week for one month for each course. I have learning disabilities which makes it very tough for me but I gave it a shot.

So don't say it's easy when for you it may be but for me it was a bit tougher.

I did switch from an ed visa to a covid extension. It was my first and only covid extension

it's really hard. Especially when you try to use it in Thailand and everyone keeps speaking back to you in English. It makes tough to really learn the language
