I’m hoping to spend 7 months in Thailand and currently trying to get a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa from Canada right now but they have asked for a detailed account of what I am going to be doing during my stay. So I have asked the KPT Language school if I can pay for a 4 month course ‘Thai for Beginners’ in advance, from Canada. I was going to enrol regardless but I had wanted to do it in Thailand - but that’s fine. My question is: I was relying on applying for a 30 day extension and doing a land border bounce through an agent - after reading many posts, I am worried now. Do you think I will have issues?

I know that many people have gone the route of an Education Visa with TSL. Has anyone chosen the DTV visa offering through TSL? I am curious if anyone has had a DTV approved with their programs, and if so, how's the program so far?

Hi all, Has anyone got experience with ILS Language school in Chiang Mai ? I have been moving between Thailand and Vietnam for the last two years but was toying with the idea of applying for a DVT and taking part in an online language course with ILS. Iv been told, and read online, that Thai language courses are not acceptable when applying for the DTV, is this true ? TIA

I already have the DTV but I want to take Thai language courses and get a bank account.

Will I need the the actual ED visa for a bank account, and if so, would i need to cancel my existing DTV? Or can I get the bank account through the language school without the ED visa?

Can someone recommend a reputable DTV approved course in PHUKET that is NOT Muay Thai? Thank you

hello

After a 90 days visa. I would like to ask for a DTV 5 years multiple entry. As a pensioner so I have to invoke another reason such as taking Thai courses or still for medical care. My question is what are the certificates to be provided (type of establishment, duration.. ) to avoid being excluded from this visa. Thank you for your advice.

Bonjour

Apres un visa 90 j. J'aimerais demander un DTV 5 ans entrée multiple. En tant que retraité donc je dois invoquer une autre raison telle prendre des cours de thai ou encore pour des soins médicaux. Ma question est quelles sont les attestations à fournir ( type d'établissement , durée..) pour éviter d'être exclu de ce visa.Merci de vos conseils.

Hey all,

I have read through several posts, both from users and mods about not exiting, even with re-entry permit on an non immigrant ED visa (for studying Thai language or those types of courses) due to several people being denied entry via DMK/Suvarnabhumi or any entry through air.

Most of these posts were from the Covid days or 2023 and older ([members only]/)

Are there any recent reports (last few months/weeks) of anyone who has non immigrant ED visa -extended several times, has re-entry permit stamped, and getting back into Thailand through land border successfully?

I simply want to see if there are any new updates regarding this.

Thank you in advance 🙏🏽

Interesting.

Hello from Canada,

I am considering coming to Thailand on an ED Visa to study Thai. Google says I will need to take courses for a minimum of 15 hours / week. Could someone tell me how a typical weekly course schedule looks like? I am most interested in learning online but am open to classes if the fit is better. Also how many hours of studying are typically required, on top of the hours in class, per week? I would be most grateful for responses to these inquiries! 🙏🙏

Many thanks in advance!!!

I am going to apply for the Soft Power option - 6 month cooking course (There is also a 9 month course, do you think this one would be more acceptable?) I can transfer the 500k from my investment account in the next few days, so it will have been in my current account approx a month by the time I apply for the DTV. I can see Hanoi and Vientiane look like good options for getting it done quickly. Which one would you recommend I apply to with my circumstances? Thank you ka :)
