Are they charging you 35k baht for an extension?

You don't know if the school use an agent or not. You don't even step foot there, you have no idea what they do. Are you even fluent? Or you speak a few words? The time of abusing Ed Visa system is over, that's my main point. That's why I ask about your Thai skill.

@John *********
Is it your 1st extension or 2nd? And how is your Thai? Are you close to fluent?

The facts don't care about how you feel. The facts are that Ed Visa are heavily crackdown due to people not going to class. Therefore, once leaving the country, they can't go back to Thailand. They need to hire an agent to bribe officers just to get a chance to come back in.

As I said, the time of getting Ed Visa and not learning Thai is over, same with getting volunteer visa without volunteering. Both are heavily crackdown.

Agent, not University. You pay a premium for an agent to bribe officers.

Most likely fake. It's no longer possible to get ed visa with agent without attending school and/or getting tested by officers.

Once again, you are inexperienced so you are not well aware of all the updates. What you did has not been possible for the last year or so.

So if you used any kind of third party to get your ed visa (fixer, agent), and didn't walk yourself to school to fill the paperwork, most likely you were getting protected to avoid scrutiny.
