Thai Language School - Samui? Ed Visa

[wolkvisa]

Hello Samuians!

As you probably know there are Thai language schools as Whalen and others in Bkk that you can attend to get an ED visa. Is there any long term Thai language schools like that in Samui? I´ve googled like a madman without finding one..

Ok. Sounds bad..

I found this info if someone else is interested:

"Dan, it's not really a case of which language schools will enable you to get an education visa. You are the person who needs to apply for the visa, not the school. To qualify for an ED visa, the school must be licenced by the government, (as all private language schoolsl must be), and the school needs to provide you with a copy of their licence, as well as details of the course. With this information, (as well as additional documents about yourself etc), you can apply for the visa which will be provided on a 90 day basis. Every 90 days, you'll need to get a letter from the school that confirms that you are still attending classes. You'll then be issued with a further 90 day visa, (ie, you do not need to do 90 day visa runs).

Additionally, the rules state that the course has to be full-time. In practice, full-time by Thai definition seems to be about 1 day per week minimum! But I doubt if you will be issued an ED visa for attendance of 1 hour per week!

This is a summary of the visa requirements. But please remember that the immigration officers can interpret the rules any way they see fit! So in practice, you might be asked for more documents/different requirements/no documents at all!"

If you are interested in information from others who have or have had ED visas, then the Thai Visas section is the place to check.

There have been a couple of threads in the Samui forum regarding learning the Thai language on the island as well.

A new language school in Samui, bophut and lamai is probably the best for this, great school with the best prices on Samui  http://www.anewlanguageschool.com

This thread started over 11 years ago, methinks Manau is connected with a Language school and is looking for free publicity
