Mods, feel free to delete if this is too off topic. I have a question about visa transitions. If I did an ED visa to learn Thai, but wanted to transition to the DTV soft power eventually, would I get denied if I used the same school for both visas?

For context, I am trying to move by a certain time frame. In order to meet the 500k baht requirement, I need to sell all my things, but I would need that money in the bank for at least 3 months. So I figure, if I did an ED visa, I wouldn't have to meet that requirement, and it would give me time for my money to sit in my bank account long enough to then apply for the DTV visa.

I want to do the soft power DTV to learn Thai, but I'm curious if that will look weird or bad going from an ED visa to DTV with the same school or if that's even allowed.

Any insight is welcome! Thanks in advance.

I am looking to stay in Thailand for about 8 months. I'm fine with flying in and out of the country for renewals and such. I also would like to learn some Thai, what visa would you suggest?

Many people recommend the online language course called "Learn Thai from a White Guy" by Brett Whiteside.

I want to buy that onlline course, but I'd be curious to learn if anyone would recommend something to supplement it, so that I might be able to go back and forth between two. Another online course or app or YouTube channel, etc.

Hi!

Myself, my partner and our 2 year old will be travelling to Krabi in Feb 2024. We want to stay for 1 year and train Muay Thai but we will look at learning Thai at a certified school so we can get ED Visa.

We are from Australia and I’m just wanting advice should I book a return ticket or onward ticket to show the airline? Should we apply for ED visa before we go? Or should we just apply when we get to Thailand within the 30 days?

Any advice is greatly appreciated
