ORIGINAL POSTER

Does anyone (non Korean) have experience getting an ED visa from the consulate in Seoul, Korea? If so was it a smooth process? Were any additional documents required? The form on their site mentions stuff I wouldn't have unless I was a Korean national or registered alien.

Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking information on the process of obtaining an Educational (ED) visa from the Thai consulate in Seoul, Korea, especially for non-Korean citizens. They inquire about the smoothness of the process and any additional documents that might be required, as the official site appears to be tailored for Korean nationals or registered aliens.

Sep 2018 Non Immigrant ED visa to train Muay Thai.

Aug 2019 Non Immigrant ED visa for a course at language school

Feb 2020 or a very short 1 year language school or what could be the reason for this third ED visa in less than 3 years?

Sorry I thought that was too obvious. Of course I've extended many times. There is a certain number of times you can extend, and I've reached the maximum. Duke sends you to get another visa at this point. (Maximum of 2). This is what I'm talking about.

You are in Thailand over two years, using Single Entry Non Immigrant ED visa and do not know why you visited every three months the Immigration Office and what they did with your passport?

Come on, but this is an example based on marriage, you should have another stamp than Thai wife.

This is the second part of my language school ed visa, directly related to my current one. For reference my school is Duke, details about this can be found on their website.

Looks like he has at least two from his history; but I don't know for what.

1. Did your school send you to Korea to get the ED visa?

2. Do you have residency in Korea, or Korean citizenship?

1) My school is not suggesting I go there. I need to go there anyway around the same time and wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone.

2: No. I'm currently living in Thailand on my first ED visa for language. I used to have residency in SK but doubt that matters.
