I'm writing a letter to the consulate in Phnom Penh regarding how I will financially support myself for my second ED visa. Anyone have any experience with this or have some tips to share?

Answer summary

When applying for a second ED visa, it is essential to clearly outline evidence of your financial stability, such as your bank balance or proof of regular income. Honesty is important in your application, but focusing on the necessary documentation should help you when communicating with the consulate. Additionally, as you are learning the Thai language, be prepared for a potential interview to assess your language proficiency.

Just outline your evidence of funds to support yourself. Eg bank balance/regular income. That's all they want to know.

And if it's your 2nd Ed visa for learning Thai language, expect to be interviewed /tested on your proficiency

. They also do many MBAs taught in English.

Lots of info on Uni Websites.

Byers.yes it is. A few universities offer it. It comes down to what you're prepared to pay , being accepted and when the classes start. Like most Unis they run the full year and dont have the flexibility that language schools have with starting.

. I've also heard and read that they're quite strict on 2nd consecutive Ed visas unless you're enrolled fulltime at University or similar.

I'm.pretty sure they will base it on your previous length and type of Ed Visa study. It's not the Spanish Inquisition 😉

Thanks

that is good to know. I am interested in how the interview/test will go and what will be expected. It seems like a subjective way to decide whether someone gets a second visa or not depending how high the standards are. Every school is teaching different curriculum and at different paces. I would assume it would be easy to spot those who aren't even attempting to learn though. However, even if the person is going to school regularly and doing all their assigned homework it is very possible they could have difficulty retaining the lessons. Especially if you don't have someone to practice with outside of class. I am a little surprised that they expect people to be "finished" studying or proficient after the 2nd visa/15 months as it seems no one is able to get additional visas after that. That just seems like a short time frame for what is a rather difficult language to learn (not only to speak but also to read/write).

Ordinarily I would suggest telling the truth, but perhaps that’s not an option?

Good. It’s helpful to clarify that, since there are people who post on groups like this looking for workarounds.

it’s totally an option and what I am planning on doing 😀 Mostly wondering if there is a specific format I should use and how much detail I should go into. I’ve got all my supporting documents and am planning on explaining them to the people at the desk in the consulate but I’m not sure how much of that information they will actually pass on to whomever makes the decisions pertaining to visas.
