ED visa to study at a uni = no problem for 4-6 years. BA-anything in a Thai uni. 9 credits per semester (9 classroom hours per week - 32 weeks per academic year).

BA in Thai if you legitimately want to learn the language. Most Thai unis are under 50k baht per year and the visa extensions are good for a year at a time not 90-day stretches. You just need to show your transcripts and enrollment confirmation each year.

ED visa to study at a Thai Language center... it is problematic and full of hassles due to flagrant misuse of the visa. Good for a year or maybe 2 on 90-day extensions.

Go to the local Rajabhat... cheaper than a language center, no issues with the visa, annual extensions rather than 90-days, and you will learn Thai.

Thanks dave, it would be a language school, it is to learn the language as it would be too easier regarding living here, my partners thai and her mums non english speaking, along with friends of mine aren't great, i would love to learn more thai and have less stress of having to leave so often. Thanks for your info

Hi Josh, used to be the case that you could get them for up to 3 years back to back. But there's been a lot of abuse of this visa type lately so the authorities are tightening up and the goalposts can be moved at any time.

You apply for the Ed visa and 30 days before the Admitted to Stay date you got on entry, you visit the Immigration Office in your area and apply for an Extension of Stay based on Education with documents from your school, No need to leave and apply every 3 months for a new ED visa.

1-Choose a school that can help you for visa application in Thailand.

2-Choose the duration that you wanna stay in Thai. for example 6 months, 9 months or 15 months.

3. pay the school fee.

4. the school will help you to apply for the approval letter from Thai government and they will issue the guarantee letter for you.

5. get those documents in 4 weeks.

6. bring those document to Hong Kong Thai embassy. Pay $600 hk dollars for it.

7.Get your visa in the second day.

8.you should back to Thailand in 3 months after getting the visa.
