Hello guys, who is going to apply for non immigrant ED visa (Student visa)??

Answer summary

The discussion primarily revolves around applying for a Non-Immigrant ED visa, also known as a student visa, for studying in Thailand. Users mention the requirement to apply through an accredited educational institution and share personal experiences about their visa application processes. One individual recently acquired their ED visa after being accepted into an MBA program in Bangkok, detailing the documents needed and the time frame for approval. Concerns are raised about the visa's limitations, including the maximum stay being three years only with licensed institutions.

Empty_soul778 i paid $80 on the Thai Evisa website.

I am a us citizen. Last month I was accepted to a university in Bangkok for MBA.

The school gave me an invite letter and some other documents including the id card of some employee that gave the official invite.

I submitted that along with copies of required documents, passport, financials, etc.. Took about 1-2 weeks to get approved.

I land 23 August and my first day of school is 31 August.

Empty_soul778 definitely not me, mainly because you cannot get a longstay in Thailand on a Non-Imm-ED visa. Maximum stay is three years (but only with licensed schools and universities) then this option is exhausted
