that's changing for months... It was a case in the past. You just pay, get the student visa and that's it... Nowadays immigration coming in to the school, checking students, etc. And this is fact I'm studying thai myself and immigration just visited my class on Friday. I didn't say no chance to find a shady school where you can do this but much more harder than before.

send them an e-mail. But depend on the location, which language do you want to learn and how many hours the course.

Pro Language school. Even on their website they mentioning you can do on the 30 days.

You need?? Not really you even can convert the 30 days entry stamp to ED visa ;) I'm on ED myself and many of my classmates converted their 30 days entry stamp... So that's not real requirements...

First day. 5 hours video watching. Second day colour blindness test and spatial vision test, theory test. 50 question at least 45 have to be right..if you pass the theory test you go to do the 5 min practical test. If that's pass too go pay 105baht for the DL. Take a photo 10-15 min.and your DL in your hand. But don't forget you need residency certificate, medical certificate, and photo copy about our passport and visa.

you have a choice... Get ED visa and do 4/week or no ED visa and staying in the country for 1 year long... I guess you are one of who just need an ED but not want to learn thai. 4 times a week... That's 8h/week... If you can't do that you are really s..t with time management.. i was basically devastated when they said i have only 2*2/week... So maybe if you have a business get an elit visa.... Because people like you is the reason why the whole ED visa situation is in deep s..t and i have to wait much longer to mine be done who really want to learn and not just use as an excuse...

What is visitor visa? I never heard about that.. Visa on Arrival, visa exempt or TR visa... No you can't... ED visa not just a stamp.. first you need a contract with your school.. they need an approval letter from The Ministry of Education.That process itself can take 3-4 weeks. After the school or agent (if you using an agent for the process and not the school doing for the whole process for you) will submit the paperwork to the immigration office. And you need a place where you can stay long term because you need TM30, lease agreement... So definitely not a one day process and just a simple stamp in your passport...

Next time do some research... Some school can do for you a visa conversion when you are in the country but still takes time... I don't know how long you are here already...
