Education Visa (ED)
Information and assistance for eligible education visa pathways through legitimate educational institutions.
Who this is for
People planning to study Thai language, Muay Thai, diving or another accredited course at a recognised institution in Thailand.
How this category works
Education visas are connected to enrolment at an institution that is able to support the application. The institution's documentation and the immigration requirements at the time of application both matter.
What is considered
- Whether the course and institution meet the requirements for the visa category.
- Course length and how it aligns with the permission you are seeking.
- Attendance and reporting obligations that follow once the visa is issued.
Documentation typically involved
- Passport valid according to current entry requirements
- Recent passport-style photographs
- Enrolment or acceptance documentation from the institution
- Financial documentation, where the application requires it
- Proof of accommodation in Thailand
This is an indicative list. The exact requirements depend on your nationality, your history and the rules in force when you apply.
