it's not ED-Visa, it's DTV. But I think it's a good alternative choice for someone who wants to just 'stay' in Thailand.

The Non-Immigrant ED PLUS Visa is a specialized variant of Thailand's education visa, introduced in June 2024 and effective through 2025, designed specifically for international students pursuing bachelor's degrees or higher at accredited Thai universities or institutions under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI). Unlike the standard ED Visa (which covers language schools, internships, and lower-level programs), the ED PLUS offers enhanced flexibility for full-time higher education students, including multiple re-entries without permits and post-graduation options. It promotes genuine academic pursuits while addressing visa misuse concerns through stricter 2025 enforcement on attendance and reporting.

This visa does not permit employment during studies, but graduates can leverage a 1-year extension for job hunting or other activities. As of November 2025, applications are streamlined via the e-Visa system, with no major changes from early 2025 guidelines, though immigration emphasizes compliance amid broader visa reforms (e.g., 60-day visa-exempt entries and crackdowns on overstays).
