Hi! Is Thai Immigration approving student visas/ Muay Thai visas or accepting them?

I was told by the Thai Embassy/Consulate that they are not processing Muay Thai visas? That I can go on tourist visa. Then when I get there, I would have to check with immigration once in Thailand.

But that would mean — I would quarantine for 10 days then go to immigration and submit for Muay Thai Visa or Language Visa? Which I would have to leave to the next Country to process my visa just to come back into Thailand to do another 10 day quarantine.

Is that right?

Anyone here on a Muay Thai visa or Language Visa That could help with some questions?

Thanks!

They told you correctly. You come in on tourist visa and or visa exempt if you qualify and want to do that instead, then find a school here that will help you with the process. You don't need to leave the country to get an education Visa now.

Thank you so much.

Just so I understand correctly.

Thailand Immigration: Is no longer requiring (people on tourist visa) to leave the country to process the Language Visas or Muay Thai Visas?
