One Year Extension Of A 3 Months Non-immigration Visa Education

[geovalin]

Hello

These 2 Cambodian girls (7 and 9 years) study in Thailand since 4 years in a good private school in Bangkok.

From the beginning they stayed on tourist visas.

Each of them has her own passport.

This time they got a 3 months non-immigration visa.

Type of visa: Non-Immigrant

Category: ED which mean EDUCATION

As they crossed the border they obtained a 3 months stamp.

The forms used to get the visa are attached intentionally in the passport by the Thai Embassy.

It should be possible to get a one year extension. Right?

Any one familiar with this case?

Whee to go?

Which documents?

Thank you

Geo

A letter from the school to Immigration requesting an extension of the ED visa, together with a copy of the schools registration documents should do the trick.
