I really hate going on visa runs to ranog because they drive so crazy and im very affaid that we will have an accident. So if there is any other way to get my visa stamped i would like to know thanks

Neither your country's embassy nor a consulate in Thailand can issue a new non-Ed visa to you. However, if you are studying in Thailand and the school can give you the required documents you can apply at your local immigration office for an extension of stay. Depending on what you study and at what educational institution this extension will be be either 90 days or one year at at time.

Looking at OP's avatar, I think he's in the Muay Thai section of the ED visa system.

Are Muay Thai/MMA schools be able, to offer 'extension required documents'?

Generally speaking, if a school has its courses approved by the Ministry of Education (MoE) it should be able to get the necessary documents for an extension of stay together, one of these documents being a letter from the MoE.

Hey, yeah i train Muay thai and and im a she i have the letter from the gym thats how i got the ED visa in the first place back in Aus. My Visa is for one year multi entry every 90 days but i was told by someone that because its an ED visa that i could just go to the Embassy in phuket town and get it checked off. I guess i could just go ask them at the embassy. I know im lucky to have 90days but i really dont want to do another visa run they drive so crazy im so sceard. Thanks for you help anyway

There is no embassy in Phuket. An embassy is a diplomatic mission in the capital of a foreign counyry. For example, your country will have an embassy in Bangkok.

That being out of the way, need need to go to the IMMIGRATION office in Phuket. They will tell you which documents to bring to get an ‘extension of stay). This will include a letter from your boxing school - so it may be prudent to ask the secretariate of the bixing school first. If they are approved by the MoE (and you say they are) they will have done this a hundred times before.

Where did she say they were approved by MOE? I can not find it (but could be my eyesight). It appears she obtained a multi entry visa on basis of a letter only in Oz and this can not be extended by visiting immigration without full paperwork and payment of 1,900 baht and that is the reason for the multi entry visa being issued at the 2.5 times higher cost. She will have to exit country every 90 days to make use of that visa. If there is an option to extend her school should so advise and provide the paperwork.

A multi entry visa only allows 90 day stays and you must exit country and return for a new stay.

Apologize for for calling she a 'he', but haven't seen the top on the picture.

That (MOE) was/is my thinking, and was my question about, too. If they where approved, she probably would have applied for a single entry visa, because the paperwork would have pointed in that direction.

Go to your camp office, and ask them. can be, they have 'options'.

If not: check out Jetstar/Tiger air to Singapore, done in one day, shooping trip with 6-8 hours stopover.

Or get a 1500 Baht visarun to Ranong.

Actually you are right, lopburi, she didn't say the school was approved. But then, last time I applied for an ED visa (over ten years ago), I needed to bring a letter from the school (university in that case) and the embassy checked whether this institution is in the approved list. They had a long list from the MOE, and I pointed my university out for them. Only then did they stamp the visa into my passport.

Things might have changed in the meantime, and I obviously assumed something here which she did not say. She did say she had a letter from the gym and I assumed that this is the school approved by the MOE.

I still believe it is best for her to ask the school's secretariat.
