Does anyone have any idea as to where I would find a full list of potential courses available through ED visa?
Answer summary
The original post inquires about the availability of a comprehensive list of courses associated with the Education (ED) visa in Thailand. Multiple commenters provide insights, noting that enrolling in accredited universities is necessary to obtain an ED visa, as most private schools currently do not qualify. Others suggest checking individual Thai university websites for course listings, as the Ministry of Education does not maintain a central list. There is also mention of other educational opportunities such as Muay Thai and cooking classes, with warnings about visa restrictions amid current regulations.

There might be some interesting information on their website, if you want to study Thai language. If you're interested get in contact with them first for the newest rules on ED visa.

Just go onto any of the Thai university's websites and search their course listings, as currently those are the only schools that you can go to, and get an ED visa legally. The ministry of education does not maintain a list, nor does anyone else, except the actual universities in their individual course offerings.

Just so you're clear
@St***
right now people who enroll in private schools (“โรงเรียนนอกระบบ”) cannot get Non-ED visas from thai consulates in other countries and request permission to enter thailand. :/

AND

as people pointed out IF you got a Special Tourist Visa while you could indeed stay here almost 9 months you could not change that visa to another type inside the country at the immigration office.

IF you're not intending to enroll in a real university for a real degree (which you could get the ED visa from the consulate in your country and then request permission to get in) your best bet is to get a single entry tourist visa, come here get stamped in for 60 days and then make the rounds to some potential schools you are interested in.

, what is it you want? Do you actually want to study in Thailand or do you just want to get a visa so you can stay here long term?

I thought I made that very clear I’m looking for potential study courses in Thailand. Hence why I asked for any help on finding a link to or a comprehensive list of potential study courses

My advice would be contact your local Embassy or Consultant and ask them what courses are available to you. You don't indicate what you would like to study or what qualifications you currently hold. Because of COVID-19 the options normally available are vastly reduced.

@Andy *******
thanks I will go through the embassy. I didn’t give anything specific as I’m looking to see what’s available. I know of the usual and I was wondering if there would be anything other than the usual such as old school crafts etc. Always up for learning something new

I get Andy’s point because we see a lot of people in the groups just want to obtain an ED visa so they can stay longer and aren’t even bothered about studying. At least now we know yours is a genuine request

STV cannot change to any other type of visa. TR people are converting to other visas, not sure about ED visa as a lot of people have converted during this crisis and they are not issuing anymore in some offices.

@Jim *******
due to current situation I’m not even allowed to leave my country but need to be prepared for as soon as that changes. Is the TR visa similar to STV?

I signed up for a thai language course at Patong language school but as the embassy aren’t issuing ED visas I have arrived on a TR visa and then I’ll get an ED visa whilst I’m here

@Jim *******
yeah I understand that. My potential to earn whilst out there will be non existent so may as well look to do a bit of learning

Looking for direction to a government website if possible. Basic google search not exceptionally helpful.

Are you in Thailand now? I’m guessing you know that embassies outside of Thailand aren’t issuing ED visa’s currently.

- Muay Thai

- Cooking

- Learn Thai Language

These are the only ones i know of and not sure if there is more
