ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi! Curious to know if there is some regulation behind which school I could apply to and how that would affect my visa approval for the soft power courses?

What do the schools give us as proof for visa application?

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a visa related to soft power courses in Thailand, it's essential to choose an accredited school. Regulations require that the course duration is longer than six months, especially for obtaining an ED visa. Schools provide necessary documentation such as registration proof, business registration, and an operating permit to facilitate the visa application process.

What type of school are you talking about? Language schools you generally get told to get an ED visa. For others make sure the course is longer than 6 months and the school is suitably approved by the authorities

Cookery, Muay Thai or what? The schools give you the required documentation to apply.
