If your phone isn't internationally unlocked, you will need to get it internationally unlocked (what I did, was about 20$, online, took 2 mins just had to plug my phone into a computer) or you can buy a new phone

@KJ *******

the school administrator who will be the ones dealing with your WP and Visa are all foreigners?

Regardless unless it's changed, CW Immigration (Bangkok) will not accept locally notarised degrees unless it's from your embassy, and they also require the Thai embassy stamp from the country of origin when being notarised in the origin country.

@Matt ******

it depends. If you have used the 2 months extension already, no, as it can only be used once per visa. If you haven't then it might still be possible, but like anything it will be down to the Immigration officer and office. So best to check with them

Depending where you are will depend on what immigration and WP office will accept... Some will accept it being notarized here. Some will not and want the thai embassy stamp too.

You need to talk to your school to see what the local immigration and WP office wants. If you get them notarized here and then find out they won't accept it then you've not only wasted time but also money.

@Albert ******

lawyers are a waste of money when it comes to citizenship & PR. You either meet the requirements or you don't. They're one of the extremely few things in Thailand that isn't negotiable.

Something wrong with the meter. Had a similar issue when I lived in SaKaeo, they came and replaced the meter and it didn't happen again. Don't wait, talk to them now

visa waiver and visa exemption are not the same. It's also 1900฿

@Chris ****

It's office dependent. Some allow you to submit online the first time, some do not, you were then too.

You have 3 months to use the visa from the date of issue, so either you're reading it incorrectly, you applied for it and got it 2 months ago and NZ post is atrocious. Or the embassy put the wrong date. Regardless, if you are stamped in on the 4th you can still get the extension even if the visa does expire on the 10th.

minimum age to get a language school ED visa is 15. That being said though, I know one person who couldn't get the ED visa for his son in Bangkok because he wasn't 16 but was able to get it in Chiang Mai so the age requirement may vary depending on Immigration Office.
