ThLT Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) I studied Thai on an ED visa, at a private school for 1 year. Currently on COVID extensions. I wanted to get a Non-Immigrant B visa outside the country to start working, and things were finally looking good, but with Omicron, everything is closing back up. I'm thinking of studying Thai again, but at a university. Would it be possible to do extensions based on studying Thai again (from COVID extensions), but for a university instead of the original language school? In other words, going from ED visa + COVID extensions ... to new school/university on ED visa + extensions based on studying.

ubonjoe Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 According to the written rules you could apply for a extension based upon attending a University. With the correct supporting documents you should be able to it since you are still on a stay from a non-ed visa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) If you are studying at a Thai univ, wouldn't it be better to ask the univ staff that is handling the case? They will be able to give you a more accurate answer whether you need to exit or not. Which univ is this?

Kevinphall Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Yeah you’ll be able to do no problem - met a lot of people who studied at a language school and then at a uni after. The uni Ed visa is a bit different to the language schools and generally need a bit more evidence such as proof of financial funds / financial support etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
