What are the alternatives for a 19-year-old French citizen whose ED Visa application was denied in Thailand?

The fact that the consulates don't take MOE paperwork with beginner/intermediate on it is WELL KNOWN and has been going on for over a month now. I'd say their school doesn't know what they're doing.

The proof of funds is by showing a bank book, so have his parents who support him put money in his thai bank account to meet the proof of funds

I think it raised far more flags that a french person is applying for an ED visa to study ENGLISH in a private language school in thailand. I mean french people take english in school.

Still, if they can't wait it out in Vietnam to get the correct documents from the school AND to meet the proof of funds, they should take the advice

@Amor****

offered and fly back in on a 30 day visa exempt entry make a new plan and try again.

And all the time i read a bank statement will do to meet the financial requirements. There is no proof asked who send in the money.

Fly back in on visa exempt and sign up at a real University. Sorry to be so blunt but what is in the mind of people ? A 19 year old sign up for a language course at an informal school. Surely that has raised the alarm bell. No need to put your comments in Capital letters.
