ORIGINAL POSTERshould have to register in a school? I want to get a visa. I am an accountant and I am currently unemployed. What is the solution?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original post raises a question about whether enrolling in a school is necessary to obtain a visa in Thailand while being unemployed as an accountant. The conversation explores various visa options, including the Education Visa (ED) and Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), along with suggestions for alternative paths like teaching English or pursuing further education. However, several responses indicate the need for more context about the user's intentions, such as whether they wish to work or live in Thailand without employment.
DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
- Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
- For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
- Explore recent discussions by using the DTV Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
- Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

DTV or ED… DTV only possible outside of thailand. ED you can get inside as well
Henrik *****
But for ED you have to be actually studying, and attend classes or you will breach the visa conditions.

2x2 hours per week and 80% attendance is supery easy to do. some schools will also be fairly relaxed with the regulation. so in the end it is up to the student to comply or not. there most likely wont be a problem.Sam *****

ED with a private language school 45k for a year including school fees (30k) and visa fee (15k). in Krabi… fairly cheap. more expensive schools in BKK/Pattaya/etc.yes its money but you also learn something.

The solution requires a more defined question.
Are you planning on coming to Thailand to stay and work online?
Or just coming here to live and do nothing.
