Hello guys, love this website, just so invaluable.
Quick question, i am applying for an education visa for my child in the UK, to study at a school in Chiang Mai. We have all the letters and relevent information.
Just a few quick questions if anyone can help -
The visa is listed as "Non-Immigrant Type ED (To study in a basic education level (elementary, primary, and secondary school, or to study in a short course (Thai or English language) - single entry only)"
I have a few bizarre questions regarding this :
I take it this visa is only for 3 months. What happens after that? We are paying massive fees for the school, and this all seems rather risky to not have a valid visa beyond 3 months.
The visa says single entry. As we plan to travel abroad during the first 3 months, does that mean my child's visa will be cancelled ?!
I hope someone can give some guidance on this!
There's also some rather strange questions on the form guidance saying we need to provide evidence of
Financial evidence e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings, proof of sponsorship from a third party
Confirmation of legal residence in the UK or Ireland
How does a child provide financial evidence, or confirmation of legal residence (other than passport?).
Just soul destroying going through this.
