    So 37k. That's not too far short of current price for non O (volunteering) + 12 month extension. I know which one I would choose, however some people want to attend class it would seem.

    Which one would you choose? Is the volunteer Visa without actually Volunteering a solution? And can you recommend a Agency that successfully converted many cases from ED to Volunteer Visa? Can that Visa really be extended year after year without leaving Thailand? What happens if you get asked by a immigration officer somewhere if you really work as a volunteer or not? Should I lie to him and say yes I volunteer, even I would living in Bangkok and have only a rental contract in Bangkok but the NGO is in Khon Khaen and the Visa was made in Khon Khaen... What do you say in a Situation like this? Lie to the officer or just pretend you volunteer but you are right now in bangkok to do holiday? 

  2. Hello Guys,

    I am under 50 years old and currently on a ED Visa which is valid till April. I got that after I came in to Thailand last year in April. I always attended all classes and will attend them in the future, so I am not someone who wants to abuse this Visa.
    My question is, if I can get a second year of ED Visa for Thai Language without leaving Thailand?

    I am confused as some Agencies and schools say "No, its not possible as I have to leave the country and come back to convert from TR to ED" and some Visa agencies and Language schools say "If I get a a letter from my current school which states that I only studied to Beginner Level they can accept me to a advanced Thai class without leaving the country due this current Covid Situation the government will make exceptions and convert ED to ED Visa."  Btw it is a non formal Language school and Not a University. 

    I am skeptical if this is really legal and allowed to do so. Some Visa agencies just said to me "Up to you, but we can do" when I started to questioning many things about how it's legally done without leaving the country. 
    Does anyone know about that rules and if this is legal? I don't want to do anything against Thai Laws and don't want to get scammed over with a financial loss and possibly a legal problem with authorities if random Visa checks outside happens or when I leave the country sometime in the future.

    Please forgive me my English if I made some mistakes, as I am from Switzerland.
