You can tell that all these people are just old men who don’t travel, quite a few countries want you gone before the stamped date, that date is when you need to leave before, not on. It’s a perfectly valid question.

Hey Samuel, it’s very difficult and maybe impossible to change a visa exempt to an educational visa in the country now. My friend was even doing a masters and couldn’t do it (when she got accepted)

One thing none of these people are not considering is there is a difference (perhaps minor) between applying before hand for a tourist visa and showing up on visa exemption.

Yes there is some leeway for the new calander year and you did return to your home country. But they do look at total travel habits.

I would apply before hand for the education visa, and if not then at least apply before hand for a tourist visa and because you clearly intend to stay longer than a month.

Also, if you come in on a tourist visa, do not say you want to study Thai. They will tell you that is not tourism.

I was going to go visit as I’ve always wanted to see the city, but luckily I did a quick google search before leaving. There’s been a lot of deaths and destruction, it sounds like a terrible situation.

I think you guys need to reread his post.

You're fine, ask to be shown an example of someone actually being deported for this, I have yet to see one that is valid.The examples people have shown me, either the person had an arrest warrant out for them or they weren't being honest about what they were doing.

@Us ****

his name is how to travel cheaper. Though a good goal, making it his persona just says a lot. As for stupid people paying to get things done...well....I suppose he would want to represent himself in court as well, I'm sure we all know the saying on that one.
