Hello!

I recently finished my bachelors degree (remote) and have been in Thailand the past 1.5 years on education visas and visa except in the beginning. I fell in love with the country, a Thai man and Muay Thai.

I did not have 500,000 in an account in my name because I had a company in Germany before and it was safest there while I was abroad. Transferred it now. I can get a recent statement, but not 3 months.

I am planning to add a cover letter explaining my plans etc.

Do you have any advice on embassies (close to Thailand) or general advice?

I appreciate it!

asking for my son who is studying MuayThai. Are people still being successful with Ed visas since DTV came in please? he would have all the necessary docs from his Gym in Phuket.

Hi! I work remote, and am planning to get the DTV, but my employer keeps laying people off. I don’t want my salary AND my living situation to be based on the same unreliable employer for the next 5 years. If I was to get a 5 year education DTV, what education programs can I get into that have a low hourly requirement, and ideally a flexible schedule? I would need to plan it around working full time.

Thank you! I’d love any info you have.

I have a 6 year old that I plan on enrolling in an international school and a 2 year old. I'm stuck on the pros and cons of a DTV or an Education Visa. Does anyone have any insight?

I’m currently in Thailand on an Education visa, but I’m now looking into the possibility of switching to a Non-O visa to follow family.

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with this kind of visa change specifically, is it possible to change visa status from an ED visa to a Non-O while staying inside Thailand, or would I need to leave the country and apply from abroad?

Also, if anyone knows a reliable agency that can assist with this process locally (preferably without having to exit the country), I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice.

Thanks so much in advance

Hello all,

I have a question hope you can help me, just submit an education visa for my daughter. For the financial status if the ambassy don’t think that’s enough money will they ask for more information or do they cancel it right away and we have to apply for a new visa all over again?

Thank you in advance

I'm currently in Thailand on edu visa learning Thai using one of two of my passports. The passport is only valid for a year. I'm planning to fly to Indonesia to apply for DTV with my other passport, my USA passport. Is this possible?

Greetings. My sister is a new fellow in Siriraj who just arrived last week (1st arrival in thailand, in Don Mueang airport). By fellow, her medical training here will last for a year.

She was about to open a bank account and upon reviewing her documents, she was told by the bank that her stamp upon entry was wrong, because it was stamped as a tourist entry, not as a non-immig ED entry, so her stamp states a date that is shorter than her visa, and should have it corrected. The international affairs office just told her to go back to the immigration office and have it corrected but didn't give her any more specific instructions. We tried going back but they wouldn't understand us, and said we cannot enter the immigration office.

Her educ visa is an e-visa because that is what they provided her upon application.

We were given a number to call but no one understands us. Would anyone happen to have an idea how we could have this resolved? We were told we have to correct it asap. Thank you very much.

Are some Muay Thai courses not accepted anymore? Which ones are still accepted?

I’m planning to apply to ALA Language School and already emailed them to begin the application process for their education visa. They replied saying I have to apply in person, which surprised me—I thought I needed to apply before leaving the U.S.

To be sure I’m not missing anything, I reviewed the Digital Arrival Card form. I wanted to fully understand what’s required. It asks for the visa type and visa number, but obviously, I won’t have a visa number until I go through immigration.

Since this is an arrival card, it includes questions about the purpose of my visit, my visa type, and visa number—which makes me wonder how I’m supposed to fill those out if the visa is only issued once I arrive. Do I leave it blank??? Any help to how I can apply to ALA would be helpful.
