I’m a British passport holder and want to set up a 1 year ED visa, can someone message me about prices and details.

Phuket based.
Answer summary
A British passport holder inquiring about a 1-year ED (Education) visa for studying in Phuket received comments focusing on the importance of specifying what they plan to study, the role of the supporting school, and suggestions for alternate visa types. There are warnings about increased scrutiny on the ED visa and the requirement to attend classes actively to maintain visa validity.

If you are working in Phuket, why does the real estate company not provide you with a Thai work permit ?

And the choice of obtaining an Ed visa for Thai language is not the best way to stay in Thailand. Recent years of crackdown on those who have the Ed visa in their passport is real. Make sure you are actively attending Thai language classes in person and not traveling out of Thailand during the course of study.

The choice of obtaining the 5 year DTV visa may be a better choice for you....but with it, you CANNOT work in Thailand.

that wasn't the question. If you are working in Thailand it's illegal to do so on an ED visa

Always helps to mention what you want to study - unless you don't , you just want the visa!

You do it with support from the school you wish to study at. They need to supply documentation to support your application, and with that it's relatively easy to do yourself.
