They told me I should make an Student visa.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To stay in Thailand for one year, the user is inquiring about obtaining a student visa. Comments suggest contacting local language schools, such as Duke Language School in Bangkok, as they can act as agents for the visa process. Alternatives like the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) are also mentioned, which could be a better option for those wanting to learn specific skills like Thai boxing or cooking. It's advised to research options thoroughly and check the nearest Thai Embassy's website for complete visa information.

What you want and what is possibel can be far from each other.

First go to the website of your nearest Thai Embassy, and read all about visa’s, then you will know what is possibel.

Yes if you are wanting to learn a language and go to school they are situated in different cities, need to sign up where you want to stay.

Or as suggested go fir DTV visa, they have more choice

Thai boxing, cookery courses etc

So you going to school or not? If not ed visa isn't right way. It's for students.. Multiple entry tourist visa is much better and cheaper and legit for tourist purposes👍

You don't need an agent, the language school will be your agent. Call Duke Language School in Bangkok
