After spending several months in Thailand, I need to leave. My child (11 years) was previously on an NON-ED Visa. After some difficulties with the school, we pulled her out. We went to immigration and they told us that she couldn't get kind of tourist visa or Covid extension because she didn't enter the country on a 60 day tourist. Apparantly, no tourist visa is allowed for people on Non-ED visas. The lady at immigration advised that because she is under 15, she would not get charged for overstay, so it's all fine and dandy, until we decide to get her a visa, or leave the country. I have been homeschooling her since May when her visa expired, but now I am terrified we won't be able to leave the country. Does anyone have any experience of this? I really need to leave for personal reasons and don't want any trouble at immigration.

Actually, my partner managed to get a Covid visa last month. They asked him for his E-visa because you need the number to apply. I don't have that E-visa in my emails because my email got hacked so had to delete it a couple of months ago. My daughter is no longer attending the school where the Ed visa was issued. I have read conflicting reports whether or not she can apply for a Covid visa or not.

Thank you for your reply. There is a problem with that however. I no longer have my E-visa. Immigration took it from me last time when I extended my tourist for an extra 30 days. My email was hacked a couple of months ago so I decided to shut that account down, and can no longer retrieve it. Also, I have a ten-year-old child. They came in on an 30 day tourist visa, then were on a Non-Ed visa, so now I don't think she can apply for the Covid extension? Would she be able to apply for an extra 30 day tourist extension? We don't plan on staying in Thailand much longer - a month or two at most. Just need something to tide us over until we can move again.

Hi All Need some help...currently on Samui and have extended my 60 day tourist visa for additional 1900 baht. Almost six weeks ago my family and I applied for a six month Ed-visa. Went with a company that was corrupt, and the paperwork isn't even ready and they are demanding more money which wasn't mentioned. I would love to stay on the island for at least a year, but it hasn't been easy. What are my options at this point? Would you suggest doing another visa run? I have about two weeks left.
