if you have a valid OA VISA <- as in the year long visa still hasn't expired you can't apply for a new visa

Actually this question; Can you still walk up and apply for a thai visa at a consulate? gets asked quite a lot

The answer is NO. There are no walk up apply thai consulates anymore.. ALL the thai consulates which weren't already on the eVisa online web-portal switched over on Jan 1 2025.

There are a few consulates in S/E Asia (Vientiane/Savannakhet in Lao and Yangon in Burma) where you apply online then go to the consulate in person to pay for the visa, but the application is still done online thru the eVisa web-portal

Just a suggestion, I personally would avoid the 3 consulates in Malaysia (KL, Penang & Kota Bharu) 😮 For some reason since they went to the eVisa online process they got really slow in processing and picky about documentation..

You'd be far better going to Vientiane or Savannakhet for a 90 day Non-O visa. Reports there are that some people actually got the approval for their Non-Imm visas (B, ED, O) when they were on the way back to their hotels after showing up and paying for the visa in person at the consulate 🙂 So just a couple business days processing time

well seeing as she's on an extension that's only good until June 14th and the new school isn't going to give paperwork until June 16th, you either get another 90 day extension with the place she's enrolled at now or you run on overstay for the time until you can apply for a new extension with documents from the new school. <- IF your immigration office will let her overstay until she can apply for the new extension (you'd have to go talk to them before you try to do it that way)

Your daughter isn't on ANY visa at all, and the stamp right now that lets her stay in thailand says "extension of stay permitted until" and has a date (which you say is June 14th)

I'd say get an extension with the documents from the school she's attending now, then get documents from that school stating she stops studying on xxx date, and get the new documents from the new school where she will be attending.

You go and cancel the current extension and immediately apply for a new extension with documents from the new school. All you're doing is changing from an extension based on education at a private language school to one based on education at an international school.

Shouldn't have any problem doing that "reason change" on extensions

@Greg **********

the METV is totally different financial requirements then the single entry tourist visa 🙂

@Greg **********

yep, but in reality few people are asked for proof of funds when they stamp in to thailand

On #4 and #5 they are talking about the DATA PAGE of the old and new passport 🙂

this is the info they have on the LTR Facebook page about transferring stamps to a new passport

Remember the LTR office isn't at Cham Churi Square anymore they're at the One Bangkok Building 🙂

@Tore *******

sorry all I read was the comment by Paul Garnett when he said 30 days 😕

I will leave it to you to (y) you should go to that office and get the most recent hand out listing the requirements AND while you're there you should ask them if it's 45 or 30 😛

Sorry for the mix up and best of luck with your up coming extension 🙂

@Tore *******

then you can apply for your new yearly extension any time from July 31st on 🙂

@Paul ********

thanx for that, so then they are like most offices and allow it when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp

Thanx for clearing that up (y)
