ORIGINAL POSTER

Ed Visa Help - Applying form UK

Hey guys I need some help, we have decided on the school we want for our daughters in Phuket, and we are back in London - I’ve been advised to get the Ed visa process started here. 

I’ve been on hold to the Thai embassy for ages, is there an online application form for the Ed visa or do I need to take my docs and go the Thai embassy in London and do it all there in person?

Sick of waiting on hold so wanted to see if anyone is in the know. 

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster is seeking guidance on the Ed visa application process for their daughters from the UK, specifically if there is an online application available or if they must visit the Thai embassy in London. Comments clarify that the application must be done online through the Thai eVisa website and not at the embassy, which only handles visa matters online. Additionally, it's indicated that the school in Thailand needs to provide necessary documentation to proceed with the visa application.

The school needs to provide you with the paperwork to get a Non-Ed visa for your daughters, and at the same time allow you to apply for a Non-O visa to accompany them as “guardians”. You used the plural so each parent can apply (1 parent for one child).

UK uses the evisa system. Apply online. You'll need all the documentation from the school for a Non Imm ED visa.

the school needs to provide you with the papers you need most will only do this once you have paid the school admissions fee

Thai Embassy websites have a lot of information. That should have been the first "go to" place.

Not sure why you're trying to call. Their website would clearly point you to the evisa website

If you try going to the embassy they won't even let you in past the front gate. ALL visa matters are handled online in the UK now. Only Thai citizens are allowed to go to the embassy anymore.

Can we apply for an Education Visa in Thailand after receiving a school offer, or do we need to return to Taiwan?
