Help with wrong visa

Featured Replies

Does anyone have any information on what to do if you received the wrong visa? 

 

In the US I applied for an ED Visa but the consulate in Atlanta gave me a B visa.  I am not to here to work...

 

What are my options? I am here to live and learn the language and be here a long time...

 

Can I get a reentry permit? 

 

  • If you've already used the visa there is nothing you can do about changing it.
  • You should be able to get an extension of stay based on your language course as you've entered with a non-immigrant visa.
  • You can get a re-entry permit for 1,000 baht if you want to leave the country and keep the remainder of your 90 day visa entry alive.

It is a single entry visa. I have already used it. My concern with an B visa is I cannot get the proper paper work since I do not have a job. 

 

I like the idea of trying for an extension.  By keeping the 90 days alive do you mean getting another 90 days?

 

Thanks for all the help

 

I would be curious if you could get a re-entry permit on your single entry B visa, so you could do border runs for this year, and then get an ED visa when it expires. 

 

Just don't know about rentries on a single entry visa. 

You can get a extension based on education on your NON-B.

You can get re-entry permit on every entry,  even a visa exempt stamp.

Re-entry permit only keeps your original entry alive, you will not gain any new days.
