Wait....so you can come and go on a 60 day tourist Visa?

@Tristen-Lee ********

visa exempt once I crossed the bridge Vientiane -Nong Khai, but had to pay 10,000kip for their 'services'

@Tristen-Lee ********

I didn't pay a cent to enter Thailand....but I paid 10,000kip to leave Laos 🤣

I had to pay 10,000kip leaving Laos. "Use of immigration services" she said

it is a thought, especially schools like Duke, with a good reputation and endorsed. Even an individual teacher maybethat I have used for 1to1?. But I think I will allow time and see if others have been approved or knocked back etc. I can see why they are saying use the ED visa instead, but staying long term, 9+ months isn't financially an option for me unfortunately.

@Jim *******

yeah totally understand and also understand why they would turn around and say get an ED visa. It's funny because the wording is "activities such as" without length of time. Of course I am not going to book courses 5 years in advance, but as an example, if I was to pay 1+ year and a letter of confirmation and dates from the course provider that clearly show every other month. As we know its all a new concept so will see how it works out first before/if I apply.

Jim Faulks using Duke language school for example, where they have month long modules, or even booking private 1to1.

Max, have I mentioned a week long course?

I totally agree on the ED visa...but as an example, my scenario, an ED visa is not viable because my work allows for month on/month off. So coming to and from Thailand every other month on an ED visa would not work. DTV would be ideal for this.
