but in any case it 1900 for any ext so Tod Daniels is right

and if you do go only for 7 day ext, you should do on last day of visa and they want to see a flight booking out of the country. You can email/bluetooth documents to the copy center on site for printing if required for your documents.

Yes can transit In doha certainly, but not able to stay for a few days as Tomas suggested.

Doha is only open to Qtr residents and Qatari passport holders at moment

I take it Ian that you would be just transiting in Doha then?

do you have residency in Qatar

@Da***

?

Providing you have all required docs in order then you should be ok?

However call Qatar air and ask what docs /if any they request to see, and be mindful that things everywhere can change at short notice.

All of that sounds like far too much ordeal, esp. when it can be difficult to even open a Thai bank account without the right visas, papers, house docs etc.

Easy opt. Is to enter as Tourist visa, make an extension, then before that expires do a visa swap (from tourist to education). The school’s rep will assist & can provide Letter to assist for opening bank acct etc.

Contact school say 1.5-2months prior to your extension exp. date (or sooner for peace of mind). it’s 3-4weeks for the new visa & fee is approx 15k (to immigration) + school fees. &You will also pay for an extension at a later date.

the school I listed above offered best deal with cheapest fee. 1:1 classes 2x a week& great teacher =No drama, no stress, happy days 😆

Come as tourist then exchange to student.B

@Phuket ***************************************************

have been accommodating for me. Can do 1:1 classes online with them which is ideal, no dramas. 😊

Qatar Airways have the best rep for animal flights at present
