rapidwtr Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I submitted all of my paperwork for an ED visa and received a Non Imm 'B' instead. I assumed I was ok until I was back in Chiang Mai and gave my passport to the school for copies. The school said they would not be able to extend it since it is not an ED visa. I am wondering if anyone knows the best way to get in touch with the Thai Embassy in Vientiane regarding this or if anyone has experienced this. Just hoping I wont have to go through the process again to get the correct visa. Of course I will jump onto the Thai Embassy website to check it out too...

JackThompson Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Only the MFA can change visas due to errors like this - not immigration. There is an office in the Chang Wattana complex (not the immigration offices) in Bangkok where this can be done - but that is a long way from you. I am not sure if an alternate MFA office exists where you are - hopefully someone who knows this for sure can comment. One option would be to use the Visa you have for 3 mo, then go get another ED (check before leaving the counter in Vientiane) to continue your studies.

Popular Post ubonjoe Posted January 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2019 There is office of the MFA in Chiang Mai that can get the error on your visa corrected. They will probably keep need your passport for few days to send it to Bangkok for the correction of be done. It is located at the Thai passport office. temporary passport office, Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai Provincial Road Chotana set. Elephant ., Muang, Chiang Mai. 50000, telephone 053 - 891-535 36 Fax 053-891 - 534. In Thai that may be more accurate than the translation. สำนักงานหนังสือเดินทางชั่วคราว เชียงใหม่ ศูนย์ราชการจังหวัดเชียงใหม่ ถนนโชตนา ต. ช้างเผือก อ. เมือง จ. เชียงใหม่ 50000 โทรศัพท์ 053 - 891 - 535 ถึง 36 โทรสาร 053 - 891 - 534 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
