Limit is TWO 30 day border in one Calendar Year, so if you did one in Jan and one in Feb it is a NO GO, otherwise you should be fine unless you have a not cancelled work permit or an extension of stay based on study, that you should cancel before you go out.

I open the topic again, while we covered that this is not really visa related but travel related I wonder how your friend from Laos, BTW you did not specify Vientiane or Savannakhet, will travel internationally to Phuket to enter Thailand via Phuket International Airport. Once I have the answer I will close comment again, thank you for understanding. I know you could fly Vientiane to BKK and onward to Phuket by Air Asia, but that would be a strange travel pattern.

the wording on their own statement (Thai Embassy Vientiane) is wrong, what they mean is that they will issue only one ED visa from a language school covering the period of one year, means the OP can apply a new ED visa in August 2019 only. If he apply a ED visa from an University it will be no problem.

no, but I will ask the Consul.

at the moment I would say avoid both places for the time being. If you have option to fly to Myanmar, KL, Hanoi or HCMC and fullfill requirement I would do. Or make a good planning for Vientiane, now you can book for 17th, 18th and 22nd April.

yes, but said two things are required, plus the money in the bank.

but the slot will not be available for another person.

another reason was that their system identified some mail account as fake and despite confirmed booked they were refused. I had one customer. That should be a thing of the past.

yahoo, yandex , outlook or aol is instant, just gmail take hours...

gmail accounts still take up to 6 hours to reach you.
