What is the average cost for a student visa in Thailand and how do I apply for it?

Theres the way I think it would/should happen but all bets are off as she is ASEAN.

If it goes the way it should.

She would be able to get a student visa to study Thai or Chinese language. (English is a tough sell for Filipinos).

She’d come in on a tourist visa (not exemption) likely.

Make arrangements with a school. Get her paperwork in about 3 weeks to apply in another country.

The go to choice right now (and could change) is HCMC, Vietnam.

She needs bank statements in her name. A month or two works. Can be a Thai bank.

EDIT: There may be a way to apply from abroad but I don’t know.

I'm in Thailand working as ESL teacher, getting my work permit done soon. Could you advise if it's possible (and how) to bring my philipino gf here by student visa? I mean, if I pay for her Ed visa, etc. What is involved? Thanks in advance!🙂

And also for anyone:

Unless you absolutely need to be in Thailand year round (I’ll let you determine that.)

Your time and money is better spent in another place for 4-6 months of the year.

No classes. No tuition. No bullshit.

Enjoy Thailand for 6-8 months a year and other places for some other time. You got an almost $1000 head start on your travels.

If you’re a digital nomad. Don’t just be digital.

If you’re under 50, have less than $250,000 in the bank, and hopelessly in love with a Thai you’re either marrying, having a kid, or getting a job teaching English.

Thanks Jimmy. I appreciate you letting me/us know.

If there’s anything else, just shout.
