New rules for ED visa

[Kitsune]

Could Mister Wallen confirm that his Pattaya branch's students now have to cough up 5000THB bribe to get an extension?

Where is he when we ,need him ?

[RIJoe]

My understanding is that the managers of all Pattaya language schools are required to attend a meeting today with Immigration/Education to go over all changes to the system. Should be interesting to see what shakes out.

3100 admin fee to be eligible to pay the 1900 fee.

Day light robbery

I was told the 3100 fee is if they visit school and u be not there so u still Ok. If u dont pay 3100 and they visit and u not there ur visa is canceled

In that case I would say that I AM going to school indeed and I therefore don't need to pay 3100 Extra

Then you get 14 days stamp pay 1900 and they will visit school at random.

Other reports are saying that you don't pay twice. Only that you receive and under consideration stamp for 15 days, then the balance.

Thank you, Kitsune, for posting this. If it were signed, I'm sure the media and the Immigration Commissioner would take an interest in it. Perhaps a journalist can make something of it even without it being signed.

My school says 1900 pays for 2 stamps

[Kitsune]

Have you heard Maestro EDvisa holders?

What we need is the same document SIGNED !

I am sure one of you guys in Pattaya can get that in return of their 5000THB fee

Bring it here / to maestro and he will forward it to the Immigration commissioner

Thank you

It does not appear to be an official document from immigration to me. Perhaps something a school made up.

If i were you I would directly go to immigration and ask them.

It could be the schools scamming you.

And if it's immigration I would ask for something in writing and signed

The website says it's "a photo of a notice handed out to students of a school in Pattaya letting them know of the greedy changes made at immigration Jomtien"

[RIJoe]

It appears in addition to this 157% increase, more money will be needed to be shelled out because the 8-hour/week requirement will require students to run through the hours of instruction they purchase faster. They are penalizing "real" students for the faults of the unscrupulous ones who work rather than go to school. How about putting the onus on the schools to report the abusers to immigration and not screw the legitimate students?
