TLDR : Answer Summary
There are currently no official announcements regarding the issuance of education (ED) visas for Thai language schools. Some recent updates indicate that tourist visas are now available, but the timeline for ED visas remains uncertain. Sources suggest that while some anticipate it may take a few months for ED visas to be issued again, this could vary and no definite timeline has been provided.

I have been heavily following this as I have all the documents from the school and ministry of education to apply for an ED visa but as they aren’t being issued I am applying for a tourist visa instead. The embassy told me they anticipate it would be a few months before issuing ED visa’s again but were unsure. It could be sooner but could be longer
you cannot change a tourist visa into an ED visa in country at present but maybe by the time my tourist visa ends the quarantine will have dropped so then can do a visa run. At this moment in time my plan is now to fly to Thailand on 26th December and have 3 months there. Fly back to the U.K. for a month or 6 weeks and then fly back to Thailand with an ED visa and start my course because although I was meant to start on 18th January they are allowing me to change the start date to whenever suits
There’s no notices out yet about ED visas. London yesterday changed their website to announce tourist visas are now available. Perhaps in a few days others may come available too, but who knows if or when.
