How do I apply for an ED visa in Thailand after arriving on a tourist visa?

To obtain an ED (Education) visa in Thailand, you can initially enter the country on a tourist visa. It is advisable to apply for a 6-month Multiple Entry Tourist Visa before arrival for a longer stay. Once in Thailand, you need to visit and enroll in a school that offers the course you wish to study. The school will provide you with the necessary paperwork to apply for the ED visa at a Thai consulate or embassy. If you enroll in a university course, you might also have the option to change your visa status at a local immigration office.
