My friend (Turkish nationality) needs advice in visa extension. She is attending a one year certificate program in Bangkok. However the program's total training hour is below the required limit, not allowing her to get a Ed. visa. So she is staying on a tourist visa and do border-run in every 3 months. She and the family got a red stamp in Penang stating 'they are staying for a long time in Thailand and the next visa may be refused'. They will need one last tourist visa before the program ends. Anybody had a similar experience? Any advice or tip is much appreciated.
