Went to Kota Bharu for an advanced ED visa. Heres my experience: After handing in the application and school documents they asked for bank statements and house contract. I was then told to wait until 10:00 to interview for the visa. Around 10:45, I was called back up and a new person asked me a few basic questions in Thai to test my Thai abilities. They then asked for my old passport because I just got a new one (pages were full). I then had to explain what I did in Thailand the year before I started studying Thai. They asked about work and if I didn't work, how I supported myself. I thankfully had already thought to ask for a letter from my organization for proof of income which I offered them. They asked to keep it. Only then did I pay when others paid the first go around when handing in their documents. Nothing super difficult. The next day I walked in and out with my new visa within 5 minutes. 😊

thanx for the update. It shows that "user friendly" consulates are getting more strict on issuing ED visas for real students. Imagine how they are towards people from the known visa mill schools :O

Thanx

@Cheryl *****

did you switch your passports while traveling from Thailand to Malaysia or you moved your stamp from an old passport to a new one before traveling?

As long as you understand you get 90 days of stay on entry with this visa and then visit the immigration office with somebody from your school it is okay for me. if you think your schools makes the visa rules, good, no problem. Good luck and take care the 90 days stay, do not stay longer.

No, there is the Single Entry Non Immigrant ED visa and there is a 1 year valid Multiple Entry Non Immigrant ED visa. I guess you mean your school offers three different programs to learn Thai, nothing to do with visa
