Is it currently possible to apply for an education visa outside of Thailand? 

I was informed that during Covid-times that was NOT possible. Did anything change?

Did someone here recently apply for an ED-Visa outside of Thailand?

Any advise is much appreciated, thank you !

Answer summary

The possibility of applying for an education visa (ED Visa) outside of Thailand is still available, particularly for university or international school students, even during the Covid period. However, for informal education (like language courses or Muay Thai training), it may not be possible to obtain an ED Visa from abroad, and individuals should check with their local consulate or embassy for the latest regulations and required documentation.

For informal education it still appears to be not possible again. It seems they forgot to reinstate that. Only in-country change to ED.

ED visa have always been obtainable outside of Thailand (even during Covid) for university or international school students.

Whether you can get one for say a language course or Muay Thai then you’d need to check with your local consulate/embassy to see if they’ll issue one and what paperwork you’d need from your school.
