Yes, I have this visa and I acquired it with a sincere desire to learn Thai fluently. I’ll be finished with the 15 month program in three months. But of the original people who started 60% dropped out after the first six months. Thai is not a hard language, it’s easier than English. But I did have to spend around 4 hours per day either studying in school, studying at home or going to school. I think it’s great! But do be certain of your expectations. It can’t hurt to start learning in advance with Drops app, Write It Thai app, and ThaiPod. It’s not hard! It just requires a commitment. I’m really grateful to be able to speak Thai fluently and I intend to live and work here.

Another option is Muay Thai kickboxing. There is a school nearby my place that only requires two hours per week. But it does cost significantly more at around 90k for one year if I recall. Still you will be required to actually learn. I don’t really know about it. I’m planning on learning Chinese next.

exactly. That's why you can't get a visa for online classes. Why do you need a visa if you're taking classes online? You can do that ANYWHERE. Therefore you don't need a visa, just stay home and take classes.

But if your classes are in a classroom, then you need a visa so you can attend classes. Therefore that qualifies but online classes do not.
