TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry discusses whether there are instances of Educational (ED) visas being rejected by the embassy. While no specific cases are cited, it is suggested that such rejections may exist but are not widely publicized. Additionally, a commenter advises considering a different type of visa, the DTV visa, for those planning to reside in Thailand, as it allows enrollment in educational classes without the need for an ED visa.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

If your plan is to live in Thailand with an Ed visa, you should change it and rather get a DTV visa. You can always enroll in any educational classes without an Ed visa.
