check schools on WEAMS. The Certifying official will be listed on there and you can contact them for more details.

I’m a veteran too. I used my post GI Bill to go to school here so I could stay long term. 100% worth checking out if you still have time left.

I’m sure I’ll be ok. I’ll have photocopies, proof of it being sent for renewal and I also have both a Thai motorcycle and car license for identification.

I have seen a lot of people saying that they got theirs quickly but I’m still allowing for the full 8 weeks plus a little more before thinking about any travel plans. I had already planned on making copies of every page of my old passport before I sent it off for my own records but it’s nice to know that immigration will also want this, thank you!

@Stewart **************

Things vary by country, that’s why I included what country my passport is from. I have to send my current one off in order to get a new one (renewal) issued to me. The voided one and the new one will both be sent back to me.

@Tod ********

Thank you again so much Tod!

@Tod ********

thank you for clarifying the terminology for me. That’s the visa that I entered in when I started school and you are correct that I have an extension of stay permitted stamp. I was trying to get out any potential relevant information out all in one post 😂 I get this stamp once a year before fall semester begins.

Thank you for your expert advice!

@Tod ********

ok then, thank you!
