TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation explores the current situation regarding Non Immigrant ED visas for entry into Thailand. Users highlight that the eligibility to enter Thailand with an ED visa primarily depends on the specific circumstances of the student, such as enrollment status at a university. While some mention that international students may be allowed entry, others note that it varies by university and there are still restrictions in place. It's advised to check with the Thai Embassy for the most accurate and current information.

IF you are an international student enrolled in a degree program at a university you are allowed to request permission to enter the country.

ED visa only for University students and International school students and your obviously neither of them as both started beginning of month

but since you're obviously interested, you can apply for university next semester if you'd like starting in January :)

If you have an existing ED visa for a Uni it’s possible yes.

no I've friends who enrolled in unis and are not allowed to enter Thailand they are doing it online from their home countries.

yes. I have a friend at my Uni who’s just entered Thailand and is currently in ASQ in Bangkok. I also said ‘possible’ as it’s a lottery for ALL those that are potentially eligible. Be careful before you give people inaccurate advice. Additionally, I’m referring to a ‘proper’ university - not an online one. 👍

the ones I'm thinking of is not online, it's public universities. But they aren't letting them in. So they let them do it from online.

... of course they do, but in reference to the OP’s question - yes, it’s possible to enter with an ED visa for a Uni.

I would say, it depends on which uni. I've friends who enrolled in public unis and are very mad that they can't get in even though they've applied since a year.
