u can extend it for 90 days only each time, up to an year

fee 1900

You need to obtain the support paperwork from your school, go to immigration office, apply and pay fee Bt 1,900.

If studying at private school you will obtain only 90 days extension.

Then you need to find a legitimate school and get a new visa.

It will do you no good to go to immigration for an extension unless you have the required documents from the MOE and your school.

I can tell you where immigration is if you tell me where you are at.

Thank you very much sir for giving me information..thank you

My understanding is that when attending informal schools, i.e. language schools, you can only get a 1 year visa. The new rules require you to leave the country and reapply for a new ED visa for another year. So just schedule on one of your next trips abroad a visit to a Thai embassy to get a new ED visa.

I don't think the school is cheating you, it's Immigration that changed the rules. But there are better experts than me on immigration visa matters.

Not "1 year visa". Successive extensions of stay of 90 days at 1,900 bt each each, for up to one year from entry. It may seem the same but it is not.

They are defrauding the OP because they are not giving him the required paperwork for an extension, likely because they don't have it at all.

They must have it cuz they give to him when he apply for visa first time so they must be legit. I think OP dont understand rules.

Cant be extended for one year at a time anymore.

Means u have to extend it every 90 days. Up to a year...

Got it?

Paperwork for ED visa is not the same as for extension of stay based on studying. Also Immigration now has a list of fake schools for which no extensions are granted.

OP wrote: my school told me that now a days visa extend is impossible here in thailand

That in itself is false. If the school was legit they would have no problem in providing paperwork supporting extension of stay.

I really hope your English will improve by going to school..,

What I'm trying to have you understand is that paperwork for extensions (if you want to know which it is, read 2.9

http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/doc/temporarystay/policy305-2551_en.pdf) is significantly more than paperowok for visa , that is just a letter, and is not even requested by all consulates.

It is known fact that there are fake schools being turned down by immigration. I don't doubt that they still issue letters to their "students".

Its stamped papers from MOE thats matters. To get them school sends out student papers with school licence and company registration docs.

Then u get MOE papers that u take to consulate.

If school is fake then cant get MOE stamped papers cuz no licence, means no visa...

If OP got visa that means he has to had MOE papers, and that means school got licence...

I back engineered it 4 U

Why you're still wasting time? You said it before... "the OP is confused" - case closed.

Glad to hear that your confusion has been rectified. It must have been really tiring for you running around all those threads like a rabbit on speed.

Try to understand this (for the third time):

immigration does not grant extensions to application from certain schools, because they know the school is fake - failed attendance verification.

Consequence, the school does not give paperwork anymore for extensions. But, they are still OK with the MoE and give paperwork for visa, they advise their students to go get a new visa.

Unfortunately it is not allowed to name the scamming school here, otherwise anybody could check it.

But hey, everybody is confused, except you. Sorry, u.
