You are right to be worried. Get your ED visa before you travel. There is no reset for a new calendar year

@Tania *********
 I'm not judging, just stating fact. "It must be certified and requested by the doctor at the hospital where the treatment was performed, stating details about the illness,

the duration of treatment, and the doctor's opinion that the illness is an obstacle to travel."

What options does my partner have for extending his stay in Thailand on a tourist visa or applying for a Non-O visa?
John **********
@Witoon ********
 if he has a multiple entry tourist visa he will get stamped in for 60 days every time he enters Thailand while the visa remains valid. Each entry can also be extended by 30 days at your local immigration office. Basically there are 2 dates to be aware of, the one he is stamped in for and the expiry date of the visa itself

Both of the Thai consulates in Vietnam have lists of the locations they serve on their websites. You need to be in one of the locations for the consulate you want to use
