Hello admins, hello members...
I seek advice from this community :
I am Aussie hoping to live and practice at a Buddhist monastery or nearby. I am 46 and can support myself without having to work in Thailand.
What would be the best visa in this situation?
Thanks everyone.
TLDR : Answer Summary
An Australian seeking to live and practice at a Buddhist monastery in Thailand should consider applying for a Non-Immigrant Education (ED) visa, specifically for learning as a monk. To obtain this visa, a recommendation letter from the temple in Thailand must be secured, followed by approvals from the Office of Buddhism and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Depending on the duration of stay, other visa options such as the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) might also be explored.
