Language schools in Phuket now require 2 days/week attendance not 4 days

Is it still 8hrs a week or reduced to 4hrs a week?

4hrs a week

Language schools in Phuket now require 2 days/week attendance not 4 days

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs are reported to have submitted a proposal to the NLA to allow all foreign visitors to Thailand the ability to apply for a “Multiple Visa”.

The new visa class would allow tourists to stay for up to six months for a fee of 2,000 baht or for a period of up to one year at a cost of 3,000 baht.

The details of the visa have yet to be revealed but the Ministry is hoping that the NLA will approve the proposal before Chinese New Year next month.

The Association of Thai Travel Agents believes that while the project would definitely help facilitate tourists’ stay, they are unsure if it would actually bring more visitors to Thailand.

It should be noted that this is nothing more than a proposal at this time and government departments submit many ideas that never get rubber stamped, most recently the New Year alcohol ban.

2. Second year students will need to leave Thailand and Apply to a new ED visa in a Thai embassy outside of Thailand. (Same as for the first visa).

3. Students with children in their passport will need to pay an immigration fee of 1900 baht for each child who appears in their passport.
