Can someone share their experience and steps they took to get a ED visa for a Muay Thai school (1 year) and what visas the spouse and children got? Thank you for your help. We're just trying to figure out all our options.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain an ED visa for a Muay Thai school, first find a school or gym that can support the application for a 90-day ED visa, which can be extended every 90 days. It’s important to note that the Muay Thai ED visa does not permit dependents, meaning spouses and children will need to apply for their own visas. An alternative is the 5-Year DTV visa, which does allow dependents but incurs higher costs of approximately 50,000 baht per visa, plus the cost of the course registration.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).

You find a school/gym who will support you obtaining a 90-day ED visa and subsequent extensions every 90 days.

A Muay Thai education visa does not qualify for any dependants, so spouse and children are on their own to qualify for their own visas.

A Muay Thai 5-Year DTV visa would qualify for dependants but is going to cost 50,000 baht per visa, plus whatever the course costs that you register for.
