ED/ DTV visa advice

สวัสดีค่ะทุกคน,

Recently I have been looking more into a fitting Visa to stay longterm in Thailand. DTV sounds tempting, but I don't quite understand the softpowerskill requirement. If booking a cooking class... do 10 days of class make me eligible for the 5 year visa or do I have to pay the course fee of around 40,000 บาท every 6 months?

Right now I think ED visa might be the best choice for me through attending a thai language course. Does anyone have recommendations for cheap language schools in bkk? Also is there an requirement for a minimum amount of hours per week? And is it possible to apply for an ED visa two years in a row? As I'm doing my bachelor's online rn, I can't study thai full-time.

Hi,

I am staying at uk ,as an International student.

I want to apply for a tourist visa in Thailand but the e visa portal is not taking my current adress. What to do?

🚨 Hi everyone, I urgently need your help regarding the Non-Immigrant ED Visa for Thailand. 🚨

I applied for the ED visa online yesterday, and unfortunately received the message "Your visa application has been cancelled" just a few hours later.

The application fee was already paid, but unfortunately it’s non-refundable.

I wasn’t told the reason for the rejection, but when reviewing my documents I noticed that I had made a mistake in my initial application.

I had accidentally written the course period as July 2025 to November 2026, which would of course exceed the normal visa period. Even though the official school letter clearly says July 2025 to November 2025. I've now corrected that mistake.

However, I’m still unsure if there’s another issue.

According to the school's letter, the program starts on July 26, 2025, but my planned arrival in Thailand is only in September 2025.

Could this timing mismatch be the reason for the rejection?

Is it a problem if the course officially begins before I enter the country?

I’d really appreciate your help:

* What are the most common mistakes with the ED visa application?

* When specifying the duration of stay, do I need to match the course dates exactly, or only my personal travel dates?

* Do I already need to have a return flight booked for the visa to be approved, even if I plan to extend my stay later?

* What should I pay extra attention to?

* Has anyone had a similar experience and can give me advice?

Unfortunately, I can’t contact the embassy until Monday by phone or email.

Until then, I’d be really thankful for any tips or insights 🙏

Im planning to study in thailand how can i get student visa

Hello, everyone. I'm an international student studying in Bangkok on an ED visa. Recently, I traveled back to my country to renew my passport. Prior to leaving Bangkok, I obtained a re-entry stamp. When I returned to Thailand, the immigration officer at the airport made a note in my new passport about my previous ED visa without providing further instructions.

So, I'm uncertain about whether I need to visit the immigration office for an additional stamp on my new passport. Has anyone experienced something similar or can provide some guidance?

Thank you 🙏🏻

My daughter is studying in Assumption University , can some body guide me to know if a on arrival visa be converted to Student Visa?

Hello, I am currently on the first 90day stamp of a 12month ED Visa. This stamp is set to expire on the 5th November, and it is my intention to apply for the next 90days at Chiang Mai Immigration office BUT for family reasons I now need to visit the UK in late November.

After this visit it is my intention to return to Thailand, as soon as this is made possible, with this visa. So, my first question is, how long do re-entry permits remain valid for ? AND assuming it remains impossible to return before the expiry of the second stamp of 90days, will I then have problems returning with this visa ? Thanks in advance.
