When arriving on a ‘60+30’ Tourist visa is it possible to change to a Muay Thai ED Visa without having to leave Thailand? I’ve been told conflicting info and hoping someone knows the facts. Thanks 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to change from a '60+30' Tourist visa to a Muay Thai ED Visa without leaving Thailand, provided you have the cooperation of the school and immigration to process the paperwork. Schools such as Master Toddy and Fairtex in Pattaya offer options for obtaining an ED visa for studying Muay Thai. However, it is essential to ensure you are genuinely attending classes as part of your application.

Are you really attending a Muay Thai school? Or you just need a visa for long term? If so, I'd go for one year volunteer visa.

That's totally between you, the Muay Thai School you're enrolling in and the immigration office you'd be using to get the 90 day ED visa from.

Check the different regions, Chiang Mai used to be the best for this but had some problems a while ago as far as I remember.

Its all about connections, and these times you need to use an agent or school that you can really trust!

And, of course, if applying for any ED visa actually attending classes and putting energy into learning is the way to go... :-)
