freesudani Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I went to CW with my university documents trying to get my visa renewed , they told me since its a private university they wont be able to do it domestically, so the only way i can do it is by waiting till the borders are open go to a thai consulate in a neighboring country and get the visa , but even then i will be subject to expensive quarantine measures in both countries (thats if im allowedback in) , any other ways i can do it?

ubonjoe Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Not sure what you have now. Did you enter the country using a non-ed visa or as a tourist. A visa cannot be renewed or extended in the country. You can only extend a permit to stay from a visa entry or a previous extension of stay.

What they told you sounds like you they thought you wanted a new visa. They certainly should be able to accept a application for an extension of stay.

You do not need a new visa. You cannot apply for a visa in the country unless your are on a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. You would apply for a extension of the entry you got from your non-ed visa long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try again. But it would help to have somebody from the University with you when you do the application. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing official I am aware of about being able to apply with a "automatic extension" granted under the amnesty. The list of requirements for the application is here by clicking 8 or 9. https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?p=14714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestie Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 It's a private university. So he wont be able to get an extension on his ED Visa? and that's why they told him that he must leave the country. ? I don't know/ Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just a matter of them doing it while on the automatic extension. Perhaps you need to explain to them you situation as far as needing to stay here.

Max69xl Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 It seems to me that you're lost in translation. There will be a lot of misunderstandings when you're using wrong terminology. If you're going back to CW, stop talking about extending your visa, and use extension/renewal of your current permission to stay instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
