Received it as well, asked chatgpt, it's something about fiscal residency, just fill in their form, nothing too special

what I mean by hard time, is that the process doesn't get smoother over time, and the same amount of documentation and questioning will be required and asked every time you go extend your non immigrant visa

Because they want Thailand to be for Thais. Any foreigner trying to settle down here long term is seen as suspect. And immigration will always give you a hard time, even after 20 years.. The only way to be relatively tranquil is the get the Thai nationality..which is near impossible to get..

@James *******

what if you leave on the same day your 90 days report is due ??

Thank you Tod 🙂

So that means if you're on Ed Visa, you can apply for Covid extension when your ed visa runs out?

@Tod ********

I see. At least now it's clear. It wasn't for me before your explanation. Well, I'll go tomorrow and see how it goes. Thank you !

Mmh I'm not sure I understand 100% how it goes ^^ from what I understand, I need docs from MOE (takes times, maybe 4 weeks) and then I can apply for the Ed Visa.. I pay the school beforehand and the school takes care of everything for me (depends of which school of course). But my concern is : since nobody has control over the time it takes to receive the docs from the MOE, how can I be sure that the process will not overrun my current visa? if my Visa ends on the 5th and my ed visa is ready on the 10th or so (just an example), do i 'overstay' for 5 days? How can i find a new official way of staying for a few days?

I understand that.. but what happens if the whole process takes 'longer' than my current visa? For instance, if I apply for an ed visa now, but my current visa ends on 5th of March and by that time I still don't have my Ed visa...what happens then? (Even tho i applied, paid everything etc...)
