Which banks allow me to open a bank account? I’m a thai language student with ed-visa.

I did three visa exempt border bounces last year. Two by air one by land. Been on an ED Visa for the past 9 months which has ended. I need to do one last border bounce by air to get 3 months to meet the end of my lease. Will this be an issue considering it’s a new calendar year? Thanks…

Just came back to Thailand from Cambodia on my new DTV. Some might be interested as I was on ED visa previously.

I applied as a freelancer. Provided business registration, contract with my main client (translated in english), 6 month of invoices for this client (in english) 6 month of bank statements with highlighted payments from this client, and 6 month of saving accounts statements with the required funds. As a reference, my income is low, few hundred euros per month, but steady.

Also added an export of my linkedin profile in english, a capture of my profesional website, and a letter stating my expertise and current activities.

It took exactly 10 business days for me to get approved, not counting the day I submitted. Went to pending approval on day 2. Got approved on business day 11, late afternoon. No update in the middle whatsoever.

Printed my DTV. Came back the day after through DMK (not BKK). Paid extra for fast pass as some here suggested it might be smoother.

Handed my passport to the (female) officer (some seem to think it makes a difference) with printed DTV.

She did not mention at all my ED visa current extension and related stamp of re-entry permit. She did not try to test my thai language.

Just asked me what I was doing, I said I work online for a company in my country. She asked if I got the money in my country. I said yes.

She checked some kind of unidentified logbook, then proceeded to stamp me in for 6 month.

Finally free from the ED golden cage, at least until immigration starts not liking DTV for some random reason🙏

Any question let me know, and good luck everyone 🤞

How long does it usually take for Ed visa to be given after being on “pending approval” status? And How would you be informed? You habe to keep checking status online in the website? Or they email you or call you?

Been on pending for 5days already.

Hello, can you guys suggest any school that has helped you with Ed visa and u were happy with the service?

Thank you in advance!

As an ED visa holder, can I get a work permit if I get a work contact. Thank you🙏

I am looking for an updated post on the DTV experience in KL. I couldn't find one. So, decided to pose a question here.

American passport holder.

Been in Thailand for a few years on an ED visa.

Now I am planning to get DTV via Muay Thai.

I have had that 500,000 THB in my Thai account for more than 3 months.

Which embassy/consulate will be better? Vientiane, Laos, or KL, Malaysia?

Thank you for all your advice in advance.

Hello everyone, I am looking for educational institutions that issue a DTV visa. Priority for Koh Phangan or Koh Samui

Thanks 😊

Filling up online form for a one year Ed visa from abroad, I have to inout return ticket details.

Does the mentioned return date have to be within 3months?

Do I have to buy a return ticket for that date really? If yes, It would just go wasted.

I'm a bit confused. I received an email from my school stating that I need to apply for the ED Visa at the embassy. I thought that starting in 2025 everything would be online and that there wouldn't be any embassy requirements especially since there's no Thai embassy in my home country Tunisia. Can anyone assist me with this? I've already booked my flight and wasn't aware that I needed to go to the embassy.😔
