For CU case, the letter they provide to immigration requests non ED visa (ed plus is actually same as this already). So when you extend your visa, you get the privilege of ed plus (no more need for reentry permit). You have to clarify with immigration officer as well as they said it depends on the letter your school provided. If other students in your university got the same visa type and stamp ,it is also possible that the immigration officer missed to give the same stamp that says exempt from reentry permit. This happened to my friend and he came back to get it stamped again.

Can confirm they’re available. Went last week but it was at 4pm. I get reentry at late hours at suvarnabhumi tho so it should be fine

@Tod ********

I can confirm that even new students on grad program (on their first extension) got the ed plus already (same process and cost as normal ed extension). This is for cu. Idk for undergrad but this is great news ☺️just because the rollout is new though, one of my grad friends didn’t get his stamp as it seems officer missed it so he had to go back and have it stamped.

Ah yes that’s the caveat, I did a short exchange program as stated in later part , which I hope may be somehow useful. I do think that 90 days is the maximum time for the first ed visa, regardless.

The maximum length of ed visa is 90 days, no matter the actual length of your educational program/even if it is a university issuing the letter of request to immigration. I’m here for PhD so After the 90 days, i extended my visa at immigration here (1900 baht).When I was doing an exchange program at university here for a semester ,I got the ed visa. After the 90 days, I just left Thailand to receive tourist visa because that gives me another 30 days to stay. It worked out well as I preferred to spend the money traveling than paying another extension/visa fee. But if you really want to get visa extension, perhaps you can ask if they can support that, give you the letter to immigration again.
