First one was 50k, though it was a serious course, 5 days a week, 3 hours a day. So I actually learned how to read and write, though it's slipping already. This one is a university ED, so only have to visit immigration once a year. Price between 50-65k depending on agent. They seem to be outlets for the same institution. I'm leaning towards the university one simply because I hate visiting Div 1 every couple months, even though they are more expensive, plus one of the agents at the upper price point has actual pull, and I know someone who has used them for many years hassle free.

Ok, thanks for your help. I think I'll just go with the second ED visa and then follow through with the marriage visa after that.

Haha I could possibly go for the marriage visa in the future, was hoping for a little more time before that came up to be honest. I've been offered another ED visa too, through a different place, though I'm 50/50 on that at the moment. Marriage visa does look pretty good though, maybe another METV and then see how it is in another 9 months? Do you think I'd get away with another METV after a month of being out of country?

Hi everyone, I first entered Thailand on a METV in July 2022 and left when required after extensions (for a week at a time). I then transferred that over in-country onto an ED Visa (Thai language) in January 2023 and stayed in BKK for the full year until January this year (so all up - 1.5 years). I've since flown back to Australia and have been here for two weeks, but am looking to go back long-term ASAP. I've also got a new clean passport coming this week as the old one was expiring within a year. What do you recommend if you were me? I am not old enough for retirement visa, I have enough savings and get a military pension regardless of where I live. I wish I got the Elite visa when it was cheaper, but those days are gone. I have an appetite for moderate risk regarding choices (I see myself getting on the retirement visa in 10 years, so I'd like to not ruin that), if that helps. Cheers.
