The Myanmar Embassy in Thailand has announced that it will no longer extend visas for those attending short-term courses in Thailand.

There are students who have obtained Non-ED visas and are attending in virtual format for courses such as Thai language course (short term) and English courses for teachers (short term) in Thailand.

Currently, due to the large number of participants, starting from September 16, PE type passport renewals for short-term course participants will no longer be processed at the Myanmar Embassy in Bangkok and the Myanmar Consulate General in Chiang Mai, according to the embassy's statement.

However, exchange of PE passports for post-graduate, undergraduate in universities, primary and secondary school students in Thailand will continue as usual, it said.
