There is a charge of 1000 baht extra for Ed visas . 2000 extra if you have not closed your visa before arriving at the border. Soo make sure you get the letter from your school and go to your local immigration before your border run

Not true at all. How did you work out an education visa is a bogus visa?

Hi just trying to find out some information on doing a border run coming off an education visa. Usually a border run from the pattaya area costs 3000 baht but I've been told there is an extra charge of 2000 baht if coming off an education visa. Does anyone know why I would have to pay the extra?

Agent was correct 500,000 in bank is needed.

I feel your pain. People are paying alot of money thinking and being told their getting 12 months,and then a few months later being told "oh by the way you can only get 10 months sorry"..

Good luck to them. I'm glad they got it. No need to get upset about other people's visa situation.

Ohh lord. Countries start tracking me? Get over yourself.

Thanks for the reply. My thinking is that they can not use their new passport until they get their now Laos visa and entry stamps transfered to the new passport. Here in Thailand I just pop down to the local immigration and they change over passports and put a stamp in it. Can the same be done at a immigration office in Vientiane?

Yes other countries are different. There old passport hadn't expired yet so the were still able to use it. They should of changed passports at immigration before leaving Thailand but they didn't know. Now there trying to find out if they could do it at an immigration office in Vientiane .

Very informative thanks

Hi guys. I have a friend who went to Vientiane on a visa run to get a tourist visa. They have both new and old passport and want to get the visa in the new passport. They entered Laos using the old passport instead of coming in using the new one. Will the Thai embassy except a new passport with no stamps or can they go to the immigration office in loas and change over passports? Thanks for any advice.

Visa runs are not illegal. If it was illegal they wouldn't let people back into the country. Visa runs are most definitely legal.

Yes pre COVID it was easy to do with very little problems apart from the odd warning stamp in your passport. Now it's very difficult to do.

Good man thanks for the help.

I'm trying to help a friend out he's the one with the issue. He was able to fly into Thailand with his old passport with a 60 day tourist visa. Can he get his 30 day extension in his old passport?

Ok thanks.

Hi,can you still use your old passport after a new passport has been issued? The old passport still has 4 months before expire date. Old passport has a visa exempt entry in it and looking to get a 30 day extension. Thanks.

Thanks for your help. Appreciate it.

I've been to 3 schools and there's no mention of me having to leave and go to Vientiane. They said I don't need to leave.

Good man thanks. The school has said I got to pay 5000 every 90 days at immigration,seems steep I thought all extensions inside of Thailand cost 1900?

Yes I seen that advertised a while back. If there was one in Pattaya 8d be interested.

Thats probably true. I was quoted some crazy prices for an education visa without lessons.

As I said I'm going to a legitimate school and not through an agent. Yes I will be attending classes,as I'd be very silly not attending classes after paying alot of money.

Hi, looking for information on education visas. I'm applying for an education visa at a legitimate language school and a bit worried about a load of COVID extensions in my passport. The school says it won't be a problem but I'll be loosing alot of money if my visa gets rejected. Any info would be much appreciated.thanks.
