What options do I have for long-term stays in Thailand before I turn 50?

I have been here for a long time, so I always keep in mind that the visa rules can change. But as I said, so far no problem with my education visa.

I have been on it since September

Robert A. Piccus I study in Nakhon Ratchasima, at Windsor language school

I have delivered my papers at immigration and no problem at all.

I don't have a 3 years visa, but I was told by immigration office that I will be able to use education visa for 3 years.

Would be nice to know how you got a 3 years ED visa with only 4 hours a week study.

I don't think I need other plans, so far it works fine.

I know people that is here on ED visa and have been 6-7 years. And the plan I showed for my visa doesn't say that I study 8 hours a week, I only study 4 hours a week.

I just copied the explanation from

in another topic: Tod DanielsGroup Admin If you're talking about an ED visa for studying at a private school in Bangkok you can get only 15 months of total study.

You enroll, get paperwork go to a thai consulate and get a 90 day ED visa. Then you get 60 day extensions at the immigration office until you hit the 8th month.

Then you go back out of the country and get another single entry ED visa and you can get 60 day extensions on that until you hit the 7th month. Then you're done and need to study another language.

The days of 4 hours a week on an ED visa are long gone. If you enroll for a year program you must attend 10 hours a week and if you enroll for 6 months you must do 8 hours a week.

This all happened because of a few visa mill schools selling ED visas rather than making sure people were studying.

I will be able to stay on education visa until a month before I turn 50 so I will have to take a vacation or something.

It is, but you can get it for 3 years.
