ORIGINAL POSTER

I am on the yearly extension of stay based on “Thai wife.”  Originally non o and this year was my third extension. I am kicking around the idea of finding a language school or university that teaches Thai as second language. 

My question is am I fine to do this without changing extension status?  (Or any status)

Thank you so much for your help.

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can study the Thai language while on your yearly extension of stay based on being married to a Thai national. There is no need to change your visa status or obtain an education visa for language study; you can continue under your current Non-O extension.

Its best you not lose your current status as Married to Thai for your annual extension of stay.

Its doubtful that you would get a Ed Visa for language study. So I suggest you not go down that path and be denied.

Good Luck...
