Hi guys,

I have received a job offer in Bangkok but at the same time i have been planning to study my masters in Thailand. For a fact, in my preference perusing my masters in my primary focus than working. I would appreciate if anyone could help clearing up few confusions i have in my mind listed below.

1. Will there be any issues for me if I get admission to a university for my masters even being on a work visa ?

2. I am afraid at one point i might need to leave my job due to the intense pressure of the study as i would be perusing a master in finance degree. In such case, I believe immigration authority would require me to leave the country and apply for a education visa and continue my degree. Please correct my understanding if i am wrong.

Thanking you in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on the implications of studying a master's program in Thailand while holding a work visa. They want to know if obtaining admission to a university would be problematic on a work visa and if a transition to an education visa would be necessary if they need to leave their job due to academic pressures.

You can study on a work visa,which you will need to work here legally +a work permit.

You cannot work here legally on an education visa ,which you will need to study here,unless you have a spouse visa for being married to a thai.
