Education Visa in Thailand

The non-immigrant ED visa or in short: Education Visa is one of the most popular ways to stay in Thailand longterm, while at the same time learning something useful.

 

Most foreigners choose to study Thai language because obviously it's useful to speak your local lingo if you stay longer, but it depends very much on your own interests and the amount of time and effort you want to spend on a study when choosing your course.

 

The PROCEDURES to get an ED visa are exactly the same for whatever course you do, however the CONDITIONS of study are not the same. This means that in one school you would need to study 400 hours per year while in another school you could do with 180 hours per year.

The reason for this is that while the laws are national, the authorities that approve the school program are local, so there are variations in which schools and which programs are allowed to provide the ED visa. This can depend on different interpretations of the rules by local authorities and it can also depend on the relationship of a certain school with such authorities.

 

Because conditions of the study program vary amongst schools, you as a foreign student can benefit from that by choosing the program that best suits your needs.

 

1. SELECT THE SCHOOL AND THE STUDY PROGRAM

 

2. APPLY FOR THE EDUCATION VISA WITH THE SCHOOL

4. ENTER THAILAND AND COMMENCE STUDY

5. REPORT TO IMMIGRATION EVERY 90 DAYS

4. GET A RE-ENTRY PERMIT WHEN LEAVING THE COUNTRY DURING YOUR YEAR OF STUDY:

1. the school fees: this varies per school and per program between THB 15,000 and THB 40,000 for a 1-year study
2. the fees for the first entry of your ED-visa to be paid to the Embassy / Consulate amount: about THB 3,000
3. the fees for 90-day reporting to be paid to Immigration: THB 1,900 for each entry, so for a period of 1 year you pay a total of THB 5,700.

	Admin Locator Posted on August 15, 2014 at 18:27:18 Hello David, for an ED visa, some embassies require proof of sufficient assets to study during one year. You can study in theory unlimited time, but the cycle is 3 years: first year you need to leave first to get the first entry of 3 months, then renew for 9 months, the following 2 years you can easily renew that. Then the cycle starts again. It is, however, likely that ED visa requirements will become somewhat stricter in the future, meaning proof of income may be asked more often or may become standard.
