You can't get any kind of visa in Pattaya. For a visa you have to go to an embassy or consulate outside of Thailand.

If you mean an extension, there are several threads on that topic:

I said it wrong

I mean whats the lenght of ED visa in Pattaya

It use to be 12 months in bkk but they doubled hours u study so its 6 now.

For universities you can get a 12 month extension.

For language schools you can get three 90 day extensions then must leave the country to get a new visa. I did hear something that you can only get 6 months total which to me sounds like 1 extension then must leave to get a new visa but it wasn't very clear and have heard very little about it. I would say it is just rumor or misinformation.

Six months would be one extension since the initial entry allows 90 days. If it is 2 extensions that would be 9 months.

The amount of hours has only double for the minimum to qualify for an ED visa. Some schools offered various schedules which were in excess of the minimum and now are forced to reduce hours to meet the guidelines of immigration's rules.
