Hi, if I am holding Non-B (working visa), can I enroll a Master degree course at Chulalongkorn or Thammasat at the same time? I don’t have plan to quit the job here in Thailand.
Answer summary
Yes, you can enroll in a Master's degree course at Chulalongkorn or Thammasat University while holding a Non-B (working) visa. It is confirmed by community members that studying on a Non-B visa is allowed and that you do not need a non-education based visa unless you intend to reside in Thailand solely for the purpose of studying. The foreign student offices at these universities can assist with any questions or registration processes.

Yes. No problem. I did a M.Ed at Chula. The foreign student office will answer any questions if you have some. They will also help with registration, etc.

no problem at all to do so regarding visa matter. you can study on any visa/extension. you need non-ed based visa/extension only when you want to stay in thailand solely for a reson of study.
