I'm a bit confused. I received an email from my school stating that I need to apply for the ED Visa at the embassy. I thought that starting in 2025 everything would be online and that there wouldn't be any embassy requirements especially since there's no Thai embassy in my home country Tunisia. Can anyone assist me with this? I've already booked my flight and wasn't aware that I needed to go to the embassy.😔

For the DTV soft power does attending Thai language school qualify for this? I attended a Thai language school and had an education visa back in 2020, attended about two months then covid hit and the school closed due to restrictions. I would like to re-enroll to study, the course is 9 months, after it’s finished I wish to attend their higher advanced course. Would this qualify for Thai dtv soft power?

Hi all

My situation

My daughter has a ED visa ( 6 years old child ) if I leave thailand and return to home country can I then for a DTV for her attached to my family

If it don’t get a re entry permit

I heard Ed Thai visa cannot be done from Thai embassy anymore and it is done by applying and submitting papers online only and getting the stamp in passport upon arriving. My question is what is the mode of payment? Is that limited to online payment? And what can I do if my card just expired few days ago and it’s gonna take over two weeks for replacement. Is there any other way to pay?

hi , filling the online form i understand the current location must be the place you are at the moment you submit the application but for the permanent adress , should i put my adress in Thailand ? ( i've been living here for 2 years on ED visa ) or my home adress in New Zealand ? thanks i just don't want to make any mistakes . thanks for all reply in advance

Hi everyone

My daughter 6 years old is on a ED visa - 1 year

She has left Australia for one month over Christmas

However when her one year visa was granted a note was placed in her Passport to report on the 29/1.

Given she has not spent 90 days in. A row in Thailand. Does it become 90 days after she returned in January?

I’m considering the ED vs the DTV. My husband and I both want to learn Thai, but I also intend to work my remote job (I’m an independent mental health practitioner with a virtual practice). I’m reading that I would not be ALLOWED to work, even remotely, if I chose the ED route. The intention with choosing the ED route is to extend the total time we are able to stay…I would pick up the DTV after my ED is completed and my husband would come as my dependent. What problems or issues would you foresee? What advice would you offer? And is this something I should attempt to navigate without any professional guidance from someone who practices immigration law here in the USA? Side note to add, I’m planning for the future, not an immediate move. I’m also hoping that you guys can offer some advice on locations we should visit when we come as tourists (for 2 weeks or so) that would help us determine the area we want to focus on to settle in. We will be prioritizing safety, amenities, affordability and proximity to a school and an embassy or immigration office for future business.

Are there any ed visa programs available in Pai thanks 🙂

🏦 Bank Update: Just saw this when I walked into Krungsri to have them activate my mobile banking app on my new phone. As of February 9, 2024, they no longer open accounts for these types of visas:

1. Tourist

2. Free Visa

3. DTV

4. ED (except 4 years at a University and International School).

I'm so lucky my landlord helped me open an account years ago. 🙏💳📃

If I come Thailand with 60 days visa exemption

Can I extend my stay or get Ed visa without leaving the country?
