What are the best options for obtaining an Education Visa in Thailand after multiple entries as a tourist?

@Heather **************

, just so you're clear how an ED visa works.

You enroll, pay the tuition, get documentation from the school and apply for a 90 day single entry ED visa from a thai consulate. <- that's where you're gonna have a problem given your prior entry history :O

However for the sake of arguement lets say you DO get the 90 day ED visa. You get stamped into the country for 90 days and when that 90 days runs out you get documentation from the school go to the thai immigration office and apply for a 90 day extension. You would do that the whole year (if it's a year class).

If you're a student, talk to the school. They are the experts and can arrange for the visa and the extension of stay.

Are you looking for a tourist visa? How many tourist visas do you have?

Contact you school, if you and them are serious with that you actually want to study and the school is a real one and not a visa-mill, they can assist you.

my understanding is that of you want an ed visa, the actual visa needs to be from a thai embassy OUTSIDE of thailand. so even if you come back in with a tourist visa; i would suggest you get a 60 day tourist visa from the thai embassy rather than attempt another 30 day upon arrival (for safer probability of entry) and you get all your school stuff organized here, you still have to leave the country again to get the ED visa because the government does not offer them in the country. i’m pretty sure you can also organize it with the school online, from outside the country, so that you can just get it organized and then come back in with it, rather than have to come and go. that’s my understanding anyways. see what other people say

stickers get activated, stamps, 30 day visa, 90 day sticker? You even got my head spinning around. You visit a school who teach what you really want to learn, talk with the school if it is possible for them to register you as a student inside Thailand and get the documents for you to apply for the Non Immigrant ED visa. It is not just another sticker which you can at a Thai Embassy.

So how many months in 2019 were you in Thailand?

Your nationality/ passport is ?

Where are you now?
