Extension
Every three months, you have to visit the Immigration Office to renew your visa and (important!) confirm your residence address. If you miss an extension of your student visa, it is automatically revoked. Every time you leave Thailand, you need to make a re-entry permit. If you do not issue this permit, the visa is cancelled.
You can apply for a re-entry permit at the nearest Immigration Office or the international airport before leaving the country.
The study visa is valid for one year and can be renewed by submitting the same documents as the original application. There is no age limit for the study visa; it can be extended for 15 years.
Please check the availability of this type of visa.
