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.
