johnfb Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) I have a gf that is from the Philippines. I live in Thailand (Bangkok) on a non immigrant B visa. Is the only option for her staying here long term is to study Thai at Walen Language School and apply for a Ed visa through them? She has been here nearly 70 days and we have been flying back/forth to Manila frequently. What would be the best option? Ideally she would prefer to study something else in Bkk other than Thai language. Edited June 29, 2008 by johnfb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 She doesn't have to study Thai language, she can study what ever she wants. The only problem is that most studies will be in Thai language. The educational institution must be recognized by the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can she start a university degree at a university that offers an international program? (that teaches in English) Where is there a list in English of approved ed. institutions and courses offered in English? Thank u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 For the rules regarding your GF visa look at: http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/2notice/rtp606EN.pdf page 5, point 7.7. and 7.8. So yes, she can start an university degree. There are too many educational institutions to mention, and I don't know of a list. Just use google and yahoo. In yahoo: university thailand would give you a small list. Also you can have a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unive...ies_in_Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropo Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Is the only option for her staying here long term is to study Thai at Walen Language School and apply for a Ed visa through them? This is not a long term option, just an option as long as the course lasts. If you're over retirement age you could get a retirement visa, then she can stay with you...but you'd have to be married.
