I'm currently in Thailand on edu visa learning Thai using one of two of my passports. The passport is only valid for a year. I'm planning to fly to Indonesia to apply for DTV with my other passport, my USA passport. Is this possible?

Q: Do you have to do a border bounce to active an Ed Visa from a visa exemption or is there any alternative?

Are some Muay Thai courses not accepted anymore? Which ones are still accepted?

I’m planning to apply to ALA Language School and already emailed them to begin the application process for their education visa. They replied saying I have to apply in person, which surprised me—I thought I needed to apply before leaving the U.S.

To be sure I’m not missing anything, I reviewed the Digital Arrival Card form. I wanted to fully understand what’s required. It asks for the visa type and visa number, but obviously, I won’t have a visa number until I go through immigration.

Since this is an arrival card, it includes questions about the purpose of my visit, my visa type, and visa number—which makes me wonder how I’m supposed to fill those out if the visa is only issued once I arrive. Do I leave it blank??? Any help to how I can apply to ALA would be helpful.

Dropped into Kasikorn today to ask about opening an account because the delays with the Wise to Bangkok Bank transfers is becoming untenable. Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, I couldn't do it and was cited the only 3 visas acceptable are ED, work and retirement.

should have to register in a school? I want to get a visa. I am an accountant and I am currently unemployed. What is the solution?

If I want to learn Muay Thai through soft power in order to obtain a DTV visa, do I have to go to a Muay Thai gym for five years?

thank you

Can i still open a bank account under the 1-year ED visa Or the bank will consider it a “tourist visa”?

Hello👋🏻 , m planning my first ever trip to thailand where i would preferably stay for a year at least as a remote worker ( I don’t make 2700$/month for a DTV ) , should i just go visa free for 90 days then leave and get a 90 visa for a total of 6 months ? Is there any better options ? I heard people take muai thai classes for a full year visa. Any help would be much appreciated 🙏🏻
