TLDR : 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”

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 this

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 😫🙄

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 on

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 stamps

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