Hi. I seem to have got myself confused and need someone to help clarify if I am going to be ok applying for a 6 month ED visa (for me and my wife) in this way. Please note that we are UK citizens but currently not in the UK. We plan to arrive into Thailand from Sri Lanka on 8th Nov.

1. Apply to Thai Language school and pay their tuition fee. They need completed forms, scans of passport pages and photos and fee paid in advance.

2. Wait for their approval via the Thai ministry of education. Normally takes about 10 days. Approval letter email to me.

3. Use school approval letter and apply online for Thai E Visa. The school has advised me to select number 4 ‘Non Immigrant (single entry)’ . There are fees to pay on the Thai E Visa website too.

4. Wait for Thai Visa approval email and use this when entering Thailand.

Is the above correct and in the right order? Have I missed anything? Does it matter that I’m applying for a Thai E visa online whilst not in the UK?

Thanks in advance for your helpful advice

Hi dear all, I ask for friends from UK. Is it possible as a tourist in Thailand after 30 days to get a visa extension with the local immigration? If possible .... what are the conditions and how many days you can extend?
