TheRedlines Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 My wife and I have signed up and payed for thai language school here in Bangkok for the next year. We are both 39 and American citizens. Upon signing up, they started the paperwork to get our educational visa stuff going. This was about 3 weeks ago. We currently have two days left on our 30 day extensions of our second entries of our double entry 60 day tourist visas. We need to head out the day after tomorrow (May 15th). Here's the tricky part. The paperwork isn't back yet for our tourist visas. It could be another few more days from what I understand. What can we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Cross a border and return for 15 day visa exempt entry. Daily van/bus service all inclusive from Bangkok to Cambodia for about 2,000 baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we simply do a border run getting a 15 day stamp, will we still be eligible for the ED visa?Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 You get the ED visa from a Consulate outside Thailand AFAIK so will require another run to obtain. Do not believe any part time language school can convert stay (if that is what you are talking about). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedlines Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Also, where do I go to find the border run deal as you quoted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
