And that is it. Yes, we know that a Thai Embassy makes money with the sales of a Visa and they not get any income by telling you that Visa Exempt Entry is possible.

I close the post before more people are going to share what the embassy posted in what ever country.

The Royal Thai Police Immigration Bureau sits at entry points at land borders and airports and they decide if you may or may not enter Thailand.

There is no minimum time to return to return to Thailand.

If you fly out, you can take the first possible flight back into Thailand,

If you walk out by land, you can directly turn after being stamped in/out by neighbor country, but be aware you if you do this it is only twice a calendar year using land borders.

It is what it is, we are not the persons to try to think if it make sense to you.

an Applicant for a Visa has no other options than the once provided on the E-Visa application website.

These are the questions if you continue to apply

I'm looking around in the reasons to apply for a Non Immigrant O visa as being over 50 years of age, but this is the only option OR change into the long stay visa.

Alternative, the Single Entry Tourist Visa, get 60 days in Thailand, arrange a bank account, transfer the 800.000 Thb and apply for conversion at the local Immigration Office.

I do not recommend travel plans, that is out of the scope of visa advise.

BUT you need onward travel to another county, by bus, train or flight ticket.

good luck.

If you want to apply for a Tourist visa you need to upload onward travel.

You might ask the school to send you the documentation so you can apply directly for the Education Visa.

@Harry ********

Yes, you can convert the Tourist Visa into a Non Immigrant ED visa in country. But this information can not be used to ignore requirements for the Tourist Visa.

a 7 day extension of stay does not exist in Thailand.

If you apply for a new Extension of Stay and pay the 1.900 Thb but your application is not approved you will get a new stamp with 7 days to leave the country.

Example of the stamp:

@Jules ******

Yes, you have to talk with the Immigration Officer and make an official application.
