@Mitchell ******

I’m trying to extend my stay in any way possible. If by doing so I’ll get a Thai language course in Bangkok I’ll also be happy to attend classes.

@Rafael ******

that’s what I wanted to do but this was reply from school:

It’s not advisable to apply for ED outside Thailand as there is a high risk of rejection

Once rejected, you cannot re-apply anymore

@Bonnie ******

well that’s what the immigration supervisor showed me.

“The Thai immigration authorities have implemented certain measures to prevent individuals from using consecutive visa exemptions to effectively live in Thailand long-term without a proper visa. While there is no specific rule that restricts the number of times you can enter Thailand on a visa exemption, frequent and repeated entries using visa exemptions may raise concerns with immigration officials.

If you have been spending a significant amount of time in Thailand on multiple visa exemptions, it is possible that immigration officers may question your intentions and may deny you entry on a subsequent visit. They may view it as a misuse of the visa exemption system for long-term stays.”

@Bonnie ******

what’s wrong is that visa exemptions can be used to stay for up to 6 months in any 12 months period. Usually they don’t strictly enforce this unless you abuse of it too much like I did.

@Ron ********

I’ve been in Thailand on visa exemptions since September 2021

@Paul ********

thank you very much for the info.

What visa will you get when returning from Singapore? You think they’ll just give you another visa exemption because you’re using that fast track vip service?

If Laos border run is the safest I’ll do that, what visa do agencies provide in that case? Do you know any agency that does that?

@Bonnie ******

I’ve been doing that since September 2021, last time I flew into Bangkok immigration brought me to the back, barely let me in after an hour and told me that I was lucky for last time. After that I went on two border runs to Cambodia helped by an agency.

What you’re suggesting won’t probably work unfortunately.

@Meaw *********

as I wrote on the post I have 28 remaining days

Yes if only I’d started applying for an ED visa a couple weeks ago it’d be actually easy 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Steve ******

thanks for the comment but because of my passport history I’m pretty sure they’d reject a TR application if I do it by myself
