It really depends on the IO. But looking at your travel pattern, you will most likely get questioned. Worst thing to happen, get denied entry. They will see those runs you had even if it’s from the previous years. Get the right visa.

It’s up to the IO really. But looking at your travel pattern and they will also check your travel history, you’ll most likely fine. They’re actually looking for those in and outs with a bunch of extensions/border runs from a nearby country without going back home.

I was able to open a bank account in Krungthai Bank under ED visa last year, the school provided me with paperwork from immigration and the ministry. I never had the chance to open in Kasikorn or Bangkok

Bank because they didn’t accept it that’s why I ended up with Krungthai. Good riddance.

I am currently studying at ALA, located in the same area as Duke. I planned to enroll at Duke last June, but they were fully booked and couldn’t accept new students until August. Both schools are good for studying the language, helping you with the necessary papers, and guiding you through immigration. I’m on the intermediate level — focusing on writing and reading. I can communicate with locals now, but sometimes I am afraid to speak continuously as some talk too fast, and I can't catch up. 😅

oh, that I didn’t know. You mean before leaving, you can get on the same day of the flight?

I see, I already have an online appointment booked for the 90-day report but for the re-entry permit, there’s no more slot on the same day when I booked the online appointment. But knowing that the office is really busy, I doubt. Lol. Just want to know if anyone has tried. Will try though, thanks!

Did you apply online and while outside of Thailand? Thanks! 🙏

Off topic: this was also my issue the past week as I’m on ED visa and Kasikorn particularly in Sukhumvit 33 which is considered a foreigner hub won’t allow to open a bank account unless you have a Work visa instead. Luckily, Krungthai Bank beside that allowed me to do so. Just need to have your passport and visa docs ready. You may want to try with them if Kasikorn won’t allow you.

Ah yes, I have this entire document downloaded. Just took a screenshot of the actual status for privacy purposes. Thank you!
