Countries that 1 year ed visas can be applied for in Asia? Not kl as it requires police clearance and Manila is also a no go but not sure on other countries? Except Laos which I want to avoid at all costs!!!!! Thanks a lot
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion highlights the challenges of obtaining one-year education (ED) visas from Thai consulates in Southeast Asia, particularly noting that many consulates do not issue them. Instead, one might receive a shorter 90-day single-entry ED visa and then apply for an extension in Thailand. Suggestions are made regarding other consulates, like the one in Kota Bharu, though the approval heavily depends on an applicant's prior visa and entry history in Thailand. The conversation also touches on alternative options like the Non-O visa, particularly if married to a Thai national.
