I've been searching for information on obtaining a Thai ID card, but it appears to be quite challenging. I've heard that having an Ed visa should make it easier, but I could use some valuable guidance on the process. Can anyone provide assistance on how to obtain one as a foreigner? Cheers and have a great day!

I'm about to finish my one-year language Ed visa and plan to extend it for another year. How long should I wait before returning to Thailand to apply for another year? I've heard conflicting information - some say I should wait one month before returning, while others suggest doing a border run and reapplying upon reentry. Additionally, I'm wondering if it's possible to extend my Ed visa for another year without leaving Thailand. Could you please clarify these options? Thank you for your response!

I am planning to conduct a border run as my ED-visa is ended. Upon visiting a visa agency for assistance, I was informed that I would need to pay 3000 baht for the border run itself and an additional 3000 baht to clear my passport from the ED-visa status, totaling 6000 baht. I am unsure if this additional fee to clear my passport is legitimate, especially considering I have already canceled my ED-visa. Alternatively, I am considering flying out of Thailand to Cambodia and returning via a border crossing. Given that my proficiency in the Thai language is limited, I am concerned about potential language assessments at the airport. Therefore, I am contemplating re-entering Thailand through the Khlong Yai border crossing. Could you please advise if this plan is advisable? I have never undertaken a border run in Thailand before and would appreciate any guidance or insights you can provide. Thank you."

When I exchange my Eu driving license at the DLT in Chonburi, my current license only covers cars and 50cc motorcycles. I'm curious if my new Thai license will allow me to ride motorcycles larger than 50cc or if a Thai car license permits driving any type of motorcycle? If its not possible what can i do to get a motorcycle license?Thank you for your help!

When conducting a border run from Thailand to Cambodia and back on an Ed visa before its expiration, is there a possibility of being asked for additional funds upon re-entry into Thailand to “clear the passport” ? I'm aware that airports usually conduct language proficiency tests, but I've heard that border crossings might not. Are there specific precautions I should take? My total stay in Thailand with the Ed visa before it expires will be 9 months. Thanks for any advice!

Yes that’s what I was thinking to. I got a answer from the school and they can’t do a third extension for that last 1 month that is left on my 1 year Ed visa🤷♂️

Thanks! My school told me its new rules for Pattaya. So now with the new rules i can only stay here for 10 months. Is it possible to extend it if you have 1 month left on your ed visa after the second extension of 9 month? I mean after the second extension it will be 9 month and 1 month will be left since the arrival stamp was 10 months ago. I hope it's not confusing, it's a bit hard for me to explain.

Thanks for you answering. This apply to all the city’s in Thailand? I mean when a immigration rules change will it come to action to all city’s or some part?

Thanks for letting me know. My language school did not tell me anything about this when I was applying for there school and this was 4 months ago. They are telling me this now and they are saying it’s new rules immigration have applied.

Thanks for your response. Do you know how long these rules have been in action?

So there is some new rules that been applied according to my school but I just want to check if it’s correct. So my school told me today that my Ed visa is only valid from the day my arrival stamp to Thailand and it begins from there. So if you have chosen 1 year Ed visa and got the ED stamp let’s say Jun 2023, but if your arrival stamp is from January 2023, then your ed visa will only last to 2024 January. Can someone confirm if this is correct? Thanks!
