appreciate the insights! Would you know the requirements to extend an ED visa for a second year? Is it relatively straight forward based on ongoing study program?
thanks! I wasnβt aware an ED could be issued or extended for longer than 12 months so will research that further. Weβre looking to live in Koh Samui so would that impact my ability to attend an actual university or are virtual classes available?
Makes sense. Iβm from New Zealand so could enter for 30 days visa exempt, however I figure that a 60 day TV plus 30 day extension will help me bridge the gap better between arriving in Thailand and qualifying for a retirement visa.
any suggestions on an alternative approach to moving to Thailand and then managing through the 15 months until a I can apply for a retirement visa would be more than welcome.
