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.
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.

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.
