An Education Visa is one of the most popular visas for expats who want to stay in Thailand long-term.
It’s also quite simple to get this visa as well. As long as you study in one of the schools approved by the relevant Thai authorities, attend classes as required by the school, and meet immigration requirements, you should have no problem applying for or extending this visa. Final approval is still up to the Thai embassy, consulate, or immigration office.
This doesn’t mean that Thai language classes are your only option. There are other types of classes that can allow you to get an Education Visa as well. Some Muay Thai, cooking, and other activity providers may also be able to issue documents for a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), but a DTV is a separate visa category and the school doesn’t issue the visa itself.
Here’s the list of schools in Thailand that advertise Education Visa support or related visa documentation.
