M93 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi, I just got off the phone with the consulate in Amsterdam. They told me that for my 1 year ED visa I'd have to leave the country every three months. This is contradicting the information I got from my language school and basically anywhere on the internet. Or am I supposed to get a single entry? And then extend it at the immigration? I thought I had to get a multiple entry, and then report every 3 months at the immigration, but then the price is also a lot higher then what my language school tells me it's supposed to be. I hope someone can give me the answer! Thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 You can get a single entry and extend every 90 days. Or you get a multiple entry visa for 1 year. That means the visa is valid for 1 year and during the validity of the visa you can enter Thailand an unlimited number of times, each time you enter you can stay for up to 90 days. By leaving and re-entering jus before the via itself expires you can get almost 15 months out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M93 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Thank you so much for the reply! I got a bit nervous when the consulate told me it was not possible to stay for the year without leaving!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Some consuls don't know or don't keep themselves up-to-date about the rules for extension of stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronthai Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 From what my school told me and is doing now: You get your 1 year visa at e.g. Laos School handles the paperwork and every 3 months you have to go to the local immigration office, with the same stack of paperwork for a 3 months extension. New is that now you have to do this every year. In the past, like me, I did not had to leave the country for a new yearly ED-visa (last time was 2010), but now I also have to.

paz Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 From what my school told me and is doing now: You get your 1 year visa at e.g. Laos It does not have to be 1 year visa (multi-entry), it's wasted money. Get single entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 There is no one year non-ed visa available in Laos. You can get a single entry non-o and then get 90 day extensions giving a maximum stay of one year from the date you enter the country with the ED visa.

Farang two dot zero Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 You can get a single entry and extend every 90 days. Or you get a multiple entry visa for 1 year.

By leaving and re-entering jus before the via itself expires you can get almost 15 months out of it. He talk about a multiple ED entry visa for 1 year not single entry and extend every 90 days in this case he must go every 3 months at the immigration. I could be wrong but he must check that with the school ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
