Hi all. I have a question about the education visa.

I have applied at a school and now have my letter. Next step is to fly to a country nearby and get the visa issued.

My questions are..

How much money would I need to show in my bank account?

Do I just need the current funds or any extra history of funds?

What is the best country to get the visa? I was told by my school not to go to Laos, Vietnam, KL and they said they have even heard of someone being turned down in Myanmar.

They said Penang is my best hope.

Finally do I need a police record check?

I plan to learn Thai and study at school.

Thanks for any advice..

Edit. Do I need proof that I'm leaving the country after the visa expires? I.e same as a tourist visa?

Hello,

I need to get a Police Record Check(from Thailand and from France, being a French citizen) to apply for my visa.

For the Thai police record, I have heard to do it in any police station.

For the French police record, does anybody know where I can do it?

I live in Phuket.

Thank you!
