Everyone, I would like to use the Soft Power option to apply for a DTV.

For the Soft Power part, I’m considering enrolling in a language school and using it for the DTV application.

A student visa only allows a 90-day stay, and the schools usually require a certain number of class hours, which seems a bit troublesome, right?

If I want to find a Thai language school in Pattaya, is that possible?

Does anyone have any recommendations for schools with good reviews and a nice environment?

Thank you all very much for your help and suggestions.

Asking for an American friend. She wants to get ED visa.

Any recommendations on language school who can help with this? 🙏🏼

Hi,

I just spoke with 2 language schools in Pattaya and they said if you do a covid extension you can not transfer to an ED visa in country. I have not gotten a covid extension yet, I am due to extend my TR visa for 30 days in early June

also the total cost with classes for visa,extensions and class for 9 months was 49,000thb. Any suggestions on other options or cheaper schools?

Thanks

Hello :)

Wanted to ask if people here had good experiences with the “language school option”?

Which one is the cheapest/ best?

If I understood correctly, any way I need to get out of Thailand to get the first 3 months, then-additional 3 months till the end of the 1st year I can extend at Thai embassy for 5,000 baht every time.

So I should expect around 50k for the 1 year visa.

1) what happens after the 1st year is over?

2) anyone can recommend any other and easier way ?

I have Polish and Israeli passport.
