ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, on the Thai e-Visa website, www.thaievisa.go.th/ , I am trying to apply for Visa in London,UK. I have a profile, but when I try to choose my visa option the only one available is non-ED language school. Which I would like to apply for, but was going to apply for tourist visa anyway. Will this language school be accepted, has anyone had similar experience (acceptance or?), and if not how do I get tourist option

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is encountering difficulties applying for a Thai visa online, specifically in London, where only the non-ED language school visa option is available, rather than the desired tourist visa. Comments indicate others have faced similar issues, with one user resolving it by creating a new email account. Additionally, responses suggest that current regulations limit language school visas from being accepted for entry purposes.

You can't get visas for language schools, only universities.

Currently ED visas for language don’t qualify for a certificate of entry from the London embassy (or anywhere else that I know of).
