ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello all, would love to get in touch with anyone whose done the ED visa + guardian (non -O). I’m 34 days into my 60 day stay on multiple entry visa and about to enroll my child into an international school. Is it possible to do this visa while in Thailand or will I eventually have to to leave the country. I’m hearing it can take up to a month to process.

They are considering enrolling their child in an international school and are concerned about the processing time for the visas, which could take up to a month. A comment suggests that one could change their visa type to Non-ED/O and subsequently apply for an extension of stay.

You re-enter on the 60-day Visa Exemption --> Change Visa type to Non-ED/O Visa and then the extension of stay (i.e. the 1 year visa)
