thank you. Same counter I extend at right? Counter N if I recall.

Unfortunately, elite doesn't help you cancel. I am on my own to cancel in the morning, and then after lunch they meet me to affix.

Which Thai Ministry approved schools in Samut Prakan offer Thai language courses with ED visa options?

Charles ********

@Siddhartha ********

not sure in that area. But check reviews and most schools will let you sit in a trial class for free. Recommend you try that. I think ALA for one year with visa would be around 35 or 40k. I believe Duke is just a bit more expensive.

Charles ********

I attended ALA in Bangkok, Sukhumvit 13. It's a good school for serious but not stressful learning. Good staff, good books, instruction in English.

Same building as Duke, which is considered the beet, a bit more intense program and they use the immersion method, which personally I do like.

Is it normal for a language school in Pattaya to request a Thai agent's ID for an Ed visa application?

Charles ********

Sound crazy... Probably a misunderstanding.

I had a legitimate Thai school Ed visa. No verification was ever asked from school other than writing down my address on the application forms. Immigration of course requires tm30 receipt.

I can't think of any legitimate purpose that information would be needed, even if you had an agent.

Where can I get a 60-day extension for a Covid visa in Thailand?

Charles ********

The 7 day stamp is denied extension. It is to get out of the country, in general you can't do anything to change that, you have to leave.

You can try a border run. Leave the country and try to reenter on new stamp/visa, but if you abused the covid extension you might be questioned or even denied entry.

Are there any training schools in Bangkok that offer an ED visa with mixed lessons like languages, dance, and music?

Charles ********

I saw this post earlier and the answer posted.

What you want doesn't exist. To offer an Ed visa the school and you must be approved by the ministry of education for a specific program...not just anything.

The closest you could come to attending a university as degree seeking student and taking different elective courses.

Is the ATK test accepted for flights from Thailand to the US or is a PCR required?

Charles ********

Always double check what your airline requires, some airlines and transit countries may require different than your destination.

Does the 5-year Elite Visa allow tax-free import of personal belongings in Thailand?

Charles ********

I just applied for elite.. Too young for retirement visa (which seems a bit of hassle anyways).. And don't want to deal illegal visa or other requirements. If you do the 20 years, the cost isn't much as a per year fee... Just have to pay lump sum.

What is the best way to extend my stay in Thailand beyond the 30-day exemption?

Charles ********

You can get a 30 day extention on visa exempt first. Then you can do a visa run and switch to tr60. That would get you too August with one extension.

Does the deductible on a Thai health insurance policy impact acceptance for the Thailand Pass?

Charles ********

The deductible does not matter. As long as the coverage amount and coverage is correct. They also need to supply a document that will be easy to read so they accept...basically a single page with all the requirements listed.

They won't look at a complex policy document to verify it meets the requirements or not.
