Can I get a visa to learn Thai online while living in Khanom?
Hi there I’m trying to get onto an education course to learn Thai language online. I want to be able to live in Khanom. Can anyone help?
Answer summary
The query is about obtaining a visa for online Thai language courses while planning to live in Khanom. Responses suggest that there are no specific visas available for online learning, as it's unnecessary to be in Thailand for such courses. Alternatives mentioned include the possibility of applying for a PE visa, but generally, an ED visa cannot be obtained for online education.

Do you just want to learn online before you go to Thailand? Or you could get a PE visa and learn Thai online.

Those who want non corrupt visit Singapore instead.

You do NOT qualify for a Non-Imm-ED visa with these online classes. I asked a famed Language School in Pattaya for advice regarding “online classes” I received a verified and correct reply from somebody I know personally, and who knows the business inside out
“Hi Greg. Online classes are illegal because immigration cannot control the attendance and whereabouts of the participant.
However, there are so-called "schools" that offer such things and work with a few corrupt immigration officials who cover it up”

I keep being told these are a thing here but clearly not.Greg ***********

there are online seminars, but they don't qualify you to obtain a Non-Imm-ED visa. Anyone who claims they do, is trying to scam you. Be careful! A Non-Imm-ED visa requires the visit of a language school and the attendance in the classes, as Immigration is going to check thisGreg ***********

I just realized this Liar Nocolas blocked me. He could not stand the truth. BE CAREFUL, mate, don't fall for a scam school, or you could run into problems on future entries when Immigration sees your old ED visa stampsGreg ***********

Nicolas Romero's ED visa is 100% forged by a corrupt Immigration officer.

that sir may actually be what I’m going to do. Go in and ask them directly.Greg ***********
@Marcus *********
they only want your money 🫤😑 You could visit Immigration and ask them if they approve online language studies of School XYZ . . . then you get a definite answer, one you can rely onMarcus **********
OP@Greg **********
yes thanks so many are claiming this so I’m now not sure what’s the best thing to do. Maybe just go back home 😫🙄
