Hi,

My ed visa expires in October and I was wondering if I could get an extension on it. If so, for how long, and what is the process?

I would think that you could with proper documentation from the school whether it is your present school or a new school. The school should be familiar with the documents necessary.

yes, you can but you need a letter from school. its 1900 and you can it for many many years

Yes, but you will need lot of more than just "a letter" from school !

They want many documents about the school, your contract with it, the course times, some pictures,...

But don't worry, the school use to do that and the only thing I made to renew my ED Visa Extension

was to sign 2 papers inside the documentation provide by my school

Extensions are normally for 90 days at a time, costing 1,900 baht. University students get 1 year extensions of stay.

As said, the school will give you the proper paperwork for the extension. No study, no extension.

I have recently renewed my ED visa through a service that has been quite convenient with me in the past for doing Visa runs and other services it cost 23,000b and only needed Passport and 2 photos, they did the rest. http://www.thaivisaservice.com/

23,000 Bht for a visa ?

I hope it is genuine !

University students, like me, only need a letter (and transcript). I dunno about other types of schools.

Thanks. Good to know.

I didn't know about University differences, except the 1 year/3 months extension

Hey its a 1yr extension from the first 15month one they initially got me, they met me, picked up my passport returned it a week or 2 later. Saves headaches, MRT then taxi to Chaeng Whathanna, lines and supporting documentation and so forth. If they have an inside person with a rubber-stamp in immigration or at the border who receives a kickback then so be it. I have no problem buying fake merchandise, replicas, stolen, bootlegged music/movies etc nor do I care if my clothing is made in sweat shops in Bangledesh. Its my pocket and my stress that is my MAIN concern in this struggle called life.

You could have a problem if the stamp is found to be illegally obtained however and it will be you in IDC lockup pending deportation - not the person selling it to you. You should be very concerned with source and legality of stamps and documents as they could directly effect your struggle called life.

I think language schools can only get 90 days but universities extend up to 1 year. I just got my 1 year extension. There is a lot of paperwork involved but the school provides most of it.

If you study at a university, you can get 1 year extensions. You need proper documents from your university for that.

Afaik you can't extend your "ED" visa forever, only for the duration of your studies or up to 3 years. But rules might have been changed.
