manonthemon Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hi, Let's say I sing up for a language course in Bangkok and get all the ED visa papers form the school. Once I have it can I do my 90 days ED visa extension in Phuket immigration or any other immigraiton office or does it have to be Bangkok immigration?

Mario2008 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Extensions are apllied for where you are living. But you might have a hard time convincing immigration if you say you live in Phuket bur are studying in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 No It cannot be done. You would need to enroll in a school in Phuket to get the extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manonthemon Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Ok - what about the 90 days report than? I alredy found a BKK school offering a one year extension so all I'd have to do is get the 90 days reports - not the visa extensions. Can this be done in Phukt if my visa is from a school in Bangkok?

Mario2008 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 he same questions will arise and if you don't study, you have to cancel your extension of stay and leave the country. Believe in BKK only a university can obtain a 1 year extension of stay, a language school only 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it different in Phuket - can one get a 1 year extension in a language school there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrtmedic Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Suspect the OP is seeking manipulate his way to a one year "visa" without having to commit to acually studying! Can achieve this ? Probably not ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can achieve this ? Probably not ! Not exactly true. I do want to study (learn Thai). The thing is I might be moving to Phuket latr this year, after I've started the course - hence my question.

Mario2008 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Than you should move your study to Phuket when you move and you will not have any problems. Some schools have banches In Phuket, or you go to an entirely new school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
