ORIGINAL POSTER

My daughters are grade 7 and grade 6 , we think about to Chiang Mai live for a while and visit the schools first . We plan to enter Thailand first time with visa free 60 days. 

The question is , could we transfer the ED   Visa within in Thailand if we get the school offer after ? Or we need to back to our country ( Taiwan ) to apply  the ed visa? 

Than you

Ask the school. My school allows me to apply within Thailand. Some schools do not allow.
