No, he signed, as everybody does, a form called STM 2, acknowledgement of terms and conditions. When the current one is not cancelled as it should be, Immigration can charge 500 Thb overstay with a maximum of 20.000 Thb when he applies for a new Extension somewhere in the future.

As you are a long time living in Bangkok, I guess you did visit the Immigration Office and applied for and got issued a big stamp with the text:

Extension of Stay is permitted up to ../../.., this is NOT a visa.

You need to cancel this Extension of Stay with documents from your school on the last day of study and leave the country before midnight. No left days possible.

And before each and everybody of the 44.000 members going to share their own experience to enter Thailand, I close it down.

There is no limit on Visa Exempt Entries, Visa on Arrival, bilateral agreements or even on Tourist visa.

There is no minimum time people have to stay abroad.

But there is common sense, not everybody wins the lotery every two months to provide him/her self with a luxury live in Thailand. Most people do have to work to gain income.

Get the correct visa, apply for Extension of Stay and all the jumping around is over and you are legally in the country.

Good luck.

Yes.

This has to be cancelled on your last day of working,

OR apply for a new Extension of Stay if you can meet requirements.

If you can not meet it will be not approved and 7 days to leave the country.

@Dreke *****

NO, I still do not know what is stamped in your passport.

If you do not know please post a picture without any personal information or passport number.

If you already visited the Immigration Office for the Extension of Stay, you cancel your work permit and cancel this Extension of Stay at the Immigration Office. You apply for a new Extension of Stay if you can meet any requirements, if you can not meet those, your application will be not approved and you get 7 days to leave the Kingdom.

There is no grace period.

If you still during the first 90 days you got on entry, you can stay until the Admitted until date and than OR have to apply for an Extension of Stay if you can meet any requirements, OR leave the country.

There is no grace period.

Did you enter the country using the Non Immigrant B visa and are you still in the first 90 days after entry?

Or did you visit the Immigration Office applied for and got a new stamp in your passport with the text Extension of Stay permitted up to ../../...

Big difference in rules and regulations.

I miss the question about Thai visa, but sometimes it is nice to read compliments.

Alternative, let the school prepare the documents and apply for the Non Immigrant B visa while abroad.
