It took me 10 working days to get my tourist e-visa approval letter. I applied to the Washington embassy. The process was easy and directions were understandable.

Can you renew an education visa in Thailand for non-degree courses like language classes or dive school each year?

Luis ***********

@Charles *********

I understand and my only concern would be how many times will immigration allow you to renew your visa? If they see that you are going to language school or any other non-o visa, will they keep renewing your request for 11 years since your are only 39 and not eligible for a retire long term visa.

It may just be easier to get an elite visa and not worry about the Ed visa. When you get to retirement age and your elite is over then just switch. I am certain others will have some opinions on my reply.
