Q: How can I get an extended 3-month + VISA for training?

Our students who need to extend their VISAS leave Thailand every 15 days to 3 months. The fastest trip you can take is to Burma (Myanmar) where you will be given a 15 day entry stamp to return to Thailand, and you can repeat this trip an unlimited amount of times.

Most of our students prefer to take an organized bus trip to Penang, Malaysia, which includes all transportation, meals and a hotel room for 1 night. The trip takes two days. In Penang you can apply for a 2 month tourist visa, and after your 2 months you can extend for an additional 30 days at Phuket Immigration (15 minutes from the camp). The extension is 1900 Baht and allows you to stay in Thailand for a total of 3 months.

The same visa can be applied for in other areas of Malaysia such as Kuala Lumpur and Kota Bharu.

Our office staff can help book your visa run and make travel suggestions if you want to sightsee while you are away.
