Frequently Asked Questions
An ED visa (Education Visa, Non-Immigrant "ED") is for foreigners coming to Thailand to study. This could include Thai language, culture, religion, martial arts, etc. It's suitable for freelancers, digital nomads, parents awaiting other visa types, or anyone who wants to stay in Thailand legally for an extended period.
You need to choose an accredited school, receive an invitation letter, prepare documents, and submit an application to Thai Immigration. We handle this entire process for you, including school selection. More details: immigration.go.th
The price depends on the school, course length, and number of extensions. We provide an exact quote during your first consultation and never change the price later.
