If you say so. .. :deadhorsebig:
I've never met a foreigner who got an ED visa in country for a private school.
However, I have met several foreigners who are in real university programs and who got an ED visa issued at Chaengwattana from the paperwork supplied by the university they were enrolled in.
One was on a 15 day visa exempt stamp, another had just a week left on his 30 day visa exempt stamp. Both managed to get a Single Entry Non-Immigrant Type ED visa which was good for 90 days, and a couple months after that, they both got extensions of stay for the balance of the calender year.
Hey, I'm only relating things I've seen happen, don't shoot the messenger!
Thais don't always follow the rules the way they're written; then again, seeing as they're their rules, I guess they can bend 'em if they wanna...:mid:
