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, you need to find a school or gym that will support your application for a 90-day ED visa, which can be extended every 90 days. However, it's important to note that the Muay Thai education visa does not accommodate dependants, meaning that a spouse and children must secure their own visas independently. Alternatively, if considering a more long-term option, a Muay Thai 5-Year DTV visa may allow for dependants but comes with a significant cost of 50,000 baht per visa plus course fees.

  • 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.
