Intended departure date for ED visa

[uninformed_traveler]

I’m not sure if anyone may know this, but should the intended departure date on the ED visa application (for higher education) be within the original 90 days? I put my intended departure date as being next year since my undergraduate program lasts the entire academic year, and I included those program dates in the application for that respective field. However, I'm unsure if I should have listed a departure date within the initial 90-day period the visa is valid for, or the actual intended departure date after extending the Non-Immigrant ED Visa in Thailand.

For some extendable tourist visas, you need to show the intended departure date within the original visa period. Does this also apply to the Non-Immigrant ED Visa for university students?

The intended departure date should be the date you are leaving. You will have 90 days (or whatever amount of time they grant you ) to enter and stay in Thailand starting from the day your visa is APPROVED. If your departure date is next year, then you should not be applying now.
