Does anyone know the process for the student visa application?

New semester of my school in Nakhon Pathom will begin in July, I plan to apply for student visa ahead of time instead of entering Thailand as a tourist at first.

Thank you very much!

TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a student visa in Thailand, you need to gather specific documentation from your school, such as proof of enrollment and other official documents. It is advised to consult directly with your school, as they will provide guidance on the necessary paperwork. However, it's important to note that, due to the current closure of Thai borders to non-Thais, the situation regarding entry and visa processing may be unclear. Keep in touch with the Thai embassy or consulate in your country for the latest updates on visa processing and entry requirements.

Check with your embassy/consulate. Many are closed at the moment as no one can enter, even with valid visas.

At this point in time Thai borders are closed to Non Thais or those who can get an exemption (basically work permit holders). That may not change by July. No one knows yet.

You need documentation from the school stating that you have enrolled and also some other official documents from the school. They should know what you need.
