I would advise to use a visa agent.. they will recommend what answers to give.. for example the not having a valid reason to return to Thailand is one of most common reasons to get rejected. You need to have lots of valid reasons or they’ll just reject your application every time. This could include having a job, business, house, pets, strong family ties etc. obviously most people have those things but you need to explain it on the application. Best of luck. My wife got rejected twice, then we used an agent, now I do it myself. She’s been to the UK 3 times 🙏

enjoy Thailand have a great time

@Lane ******

get the paperwork sorted ASAP it sometimes takes 6 weeks so you’ll need the time you have remaining on your visa + your extension

I did this last year with no problems.. but as you know it’s down the immigration officer 👍

Enter using the visa exemption and you’ll get 1 month. Before that expires renew at the immigration office and get a second month. Before that expires do a border run to get your third month 👍

There are other ways but that’s usually the easiest 🙏

Enjoy the training if you need advice on looking for a gym or anything like that drop me a DM

You are much better getting a language visa to study Thai and taking 1-2 lessons per week.

Thailand has an abundance of Muay Thai gyms, the ones who offer the visa are usually tourist traps

cheers 👍 if you need any help with anything send me a PM

Pretty sure Tiger does education visas 👍

If they don’t I think southside mma, aka Thailand and a few other gyms.

You can also get ED visas for Thai language if that helps

I did a border run straight after a one year ED visa and had no problems. A lot will depend on the immigration officer, at the point of entry. Good luck 🙏 hope it works out for you 👍

@Michael ******

this is all great advice and really useful. In short it’s a bit of a pain in the arse to fulfill the visa requirements (especially the requirements the UK govt don’t tell you about) if it’s your first time I would use a visa agent. It will take some time and effort. The good news is once you’ve done it once it’s much easier the following times and you can do it yourself
