I hope no one listens to your plan. It's horrible.

I'm in a similar situation but I have one extension left. My problem is that my school won't provide me with a 3 month course so I don't have a valid reason to extend. I've been adviced to wait until the middle of this month when they expect that the government will have come out with an announcement on what we can do. Hopefully, they'll let us apply for a new student visa within the country. If not, there's always volunteer visas, although they're very expensive.

Ok, thanks. Yeah, I agree with Tod. You need to show up at immigration before your 90 days are up with the necessary documents showing that you're studying. Your school will provide those for you. In some cases they'll even go there on your behalf for a fee.

When you say that you just applied for a "new" ED VISA, does that mean that your previous visa was an ED visa? So this is your second ED Visa in a row?

Exchange rate looking better than in a long time, ey? I think you got some good advice from Robert there. My guess is that you'll get an even better rate with the second transaction.

Benjamin Hays I hadn't seen that announcement before. Does that mean that my current visa will be extendable past the usual 12 month limit?

I'm probably the one missing something. Here's my situation. I entered Thailand on an ED visa on the 25th of January and have been extending my stay every 90 days. My current course (intermediate Thai) will be over by mid October at the same date as my current extension expires. My school isn't offering a 3 month course which I assume mean that I can't get a reson to extend a third time. The thing is that I'm not sure that the school want to help or if they're giving me good advice as they are currently full and have recently been making a killing on jacked up prices for new ED visa holders. As I've understood the rules, Im not allowed to change to another school unless I get a new visa.
