What are the recent experiences of applying for a Non-ED visa at Hand to Hand Combat School in Chiang Mai?

and we're done. (y) good luck to everyone. :)

a Few weeks ago a professional fighter and now an employee of a Welness Center and rehab, both according their facebook working inside Thailand have the same problem. The Thai Consulate sees hand to hand combat training as a training course and not as a university level study, they need a letter form applicants company in Egypt. Their applications and passports are not laying on desks for months inside the Thai Consulate as they clearly state on their website: If documents fail, we contact you and can bring them the same afternoon or next morning and pick up your passport in the afternoon with or without the visa.

These are the requirements of the Thai Consulate in Cairo to get the Non Immigrant ED visa for a hand to hand combat course 2. Foreigners who wish to participate in projects or seminar, to attend a conference or training course in Thailand must provide the following documents:

· Letter from applicant’s company indicating the applicant’s position, length of employment, salary and purpose of visit(s) to Thailand.

· Letter of invitation or acceptance from the concerned companies/ organizations or institutes with business registration or business license

School license or business registration, list of shareholders and school profile

The hand to hand combat school is telling you it takes that long to get you listed as a student at the Ministry of Education and the same school is telling you, you can not cancel and apply for another visa? Well I have good news for you, your are FREE to apply for any visa. Schools do not own the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and have nothing to say about the rules and regulations in Thai Consulates.

You might clarify if you are (1) waiting on the documents from the school, before you apply for the visa, or (2) you have applied for the visa at a consulate with the documents from the school, and are now awaiting approval from the MFA.

I think it is (2) and this delay is specific to your being Egyptian. If so, you aren't likely to get relevant replies from others here, unless they are also from a country on the list that requires the visa to go to the MFA in Bangkok to make a decision. Most people, this doesn't happen, the consulate can make the decision on their own.

Krystian I listed the self defense school in Chiang Mai that is approved to offer ED visa support by the MOE and the two Muay thai schools in Bangkok that offier ED visa support are

Chakrit Muay Thai, Sukhumvit soi 39



Master Woody Luktupfah On Nut



There are also Muay Thai schools in Phuket that can offer ED visa support too.

Its between you and the school to arrange for proper Ed Visa documents. Be careful to ensure you do get proper documents accepted by the Ministry of Education.

Your school is your guide and must prepare documents needed when you submit your Ed Visa application at a Thai Consulate outside of Thailand.
