Thank for this wonderful forum , it was very helpful for me to understand about Thai Visa and complexity . I want to take a Thai cources in BKK and any idea which scholl to enroll and what would be the cost . How many hours of study should I do every week in order to get ED visa from Thai embassy . Do I have to leave Thailand every 3 months to extend my visa and if there any limitation of number of times I extend my stay with ED visa .

Thank all for your help .

Hi eeeh!!!!

For some reason they exported the best Thai Civil Sevants to Vancouver. They are very helpful and can and will answer all your questions.

I think it's a minimum of 15 hours a week of Thai study (although they have to be certified to teach it for you to 'really' get a Non-imm ED, although from Consulate to Consulate they might not be aware of this), at least that's what I heard from AUA!

Toronto is the best place in Candad to apply at IME!

Thank you and it is very informing.

any idea about having dificulty for ED visa and there is a limit on it how many time we can get ED visa back to back if I keep registering the Thai language course and keep taking courses

thanks for the replies

I'm under the impression (and it might well be wrong) that you can only extend it for two years (or maybe two lots of two years) but to be honest I don't really know (my mate has one if I get the chance I'll ask him, so please take the above with a large pinch of salt!).

I just get a answer from AUA from BKK and their program is total of 2000 hours and each level is 200 hours . if I take 15 hours a week it makes 3 years to complete the courses . I was just wondering if I can go 3 years with ED visa and complate the course .

Thanks

By extending it each year with AUA assistance you can.
