If you do not do that you will find it difficult as we will not be transliterating the Thai language. We are a direct method school. You will just about every other school using transliterations. Books are taught on the loop, if you keep attending you will see very good results. Some students prefer transliterations, some prefer learning Thai in its pure form. The Walen method works for those who want to learn. This post is totally of the topic so sorry for that. I just responded to this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
block2 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 If you want to spend less there are definitely cheaper schools but you get what you pay for. If that school got in trouble with the immigration do not fool yourself, you will be in trouble too and explaining to the immigration that you thought they were a good school etc will not help much. Walen School - ED visa most reliable assistance. Why would a student get into trouble with immigration if he/she has enrolled with a school which is accredited and authorised by the Ministry of Education? Does this not mean that its teaching methods (and presumably attendance/online class completion records) have been recognised as acceptable? If it's good enough for the MoE to issue the paperwork for a visa (and subsequent visa to be issued by a Thai consulate), under what circumstances would a student find themselves in difficulty if he/she had complied with the study requirements which had been authorised by the MoE? Exactly. It seems to me MacWalen is trying out his scare tactics. MacWalen unless you have any real evidence please refrain from bad mouthing them. I only want first hand experiences. Has anybody else other than digital signed up with them or even heard of them before? I've told a real story. Do as you want. The good news is that Walen can do better as people can study at our school totally for free. We have a way to reduce cost of study at Walen to 0 Baht. Walen School - you can study for free Hi MacWalen, Can you tell me how I can study at your school for free? ....You say you have a way to reduce the cost to 0 Bhat...Can you tell me what I have to do / how to apply to be able to study at your school for 0 baht? Doe's the free course also include a ED Visa? Regards In Advance Block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristo Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I was looking infos on schools for having ed-visa . On May 23rd I went to Time Square Walen School and ask informations regarding the processus to obtain one. The office girl give good advise and I had made the choice right away to go to this school. I tell her that I have to go out of Thailand June 8 as my visa expire on this date.. I ask her if the whole process of papers will be ok for this date. She tell me that it may take 2 to 4 weeks to have the papers back to the school. I ask her if she assure me to have the papers on time. She cannot assure me. But she tell me that if I want to speed up the process I have to pay 5,000 bahts more right away and she promise me that the papers will arrive in 10 days. Also I have to give in advance the 25,000 bahts for the course. I suddenly back off and tell her I want to think about it. I went to another school . Same good advise for the girl for the infos. I explain my situation & tell her that I have to go out of Thailand June 8. No problems she tell me. The papers will arrive within 10 days. Are you sure I ask. Yes absolutely sure. So I paid a deposit of 15,000 b ,the rest payable when she received the papers. 8 days later May 31 she call me and said she have received the papers. I was very happy. I went therre paid the rest of the course, went to Laos and come back with my ed-visa The question is WHY Walen school charge 5,000 b for having a visa in 10 days if other school can have the same visa in 8 days FREE of charge Anyone? which school did u go to? the second one which you went and enrolled?

WithMarco Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Agree about Cambodia, i've a 6-months business visa (25$ at the border, no questions asked) which i can extend over and over. I can rent an apartment even with a tourist visa, the prices are up to 60% lower than in thailand for many things. Many services are abysmal to say the least and the whole country is a mess, but if you have a sense of adventure it can be a good option compared to the crazy visa situation in thailand and the sinking dollar and euro. (Actually as here we pay everything in US dollars the more the dollar goes down the less i'm spending as i'm paid in euros.) my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentnine Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 There are a lot of competitors on the market. If you go with Walen you will get good quality and reliable service. If you want to spend less there are definitely cheaper schools but you get what you pay for. If that school got in trouble with the immigration do not fool yourself, you will be in trouble too and explaining to the immigration that you thought they were a good school etc will not help much. Walen School - ED visa most reliable assistance. And what is it that you are actually implying here, '' If that school got in trouble with the immigration,'' Mr. competition? Yes, at least one school that I know is in history books now and students blacklisted. They also had very good deals, but unfortunately no more. Just feel sorry for the students who got in trouble. Guys, I am fine with competition, we have a lot of students so no problem here. You can go for the very cheapest school available and expect first class service. Still Walen is here if you needed reliable service, not the cheapest though. 22,000 is quite common price, you can save 200 baht a month. With Walen you can also get what you will not get with any other school, but this is a different topic. could you elaborate .. it sounds interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think he's saying 22,000 is a common price. Walen price is 24,960 baht, so you'd only save about 200 baht per month by going elsewhere for a purportedly inferior service. As for the ED visa, you always pay the Thai consulate directly, not the school, so any prices quoted by any school will exclude this. The only thing you should get free from the school in this respect will be the paperwork for the visa.

Hi I know several people who went to Walen School and I don’t really think it’s possible to study for free! They have a sort of pyramid scheme thing that when you recruit new students to the school you get some money from the new ones. Then when they recommend others you get a percentage of that too. In reality I think it would take a very long time to get enough students to cover you costs, but perhaps it does work for some people. I am currently attending Pro Language School in Chiang Mai. I can really recommend them to you as I have been there nearly 3 years and never had any problems with them. Some of the stories you hear from other schools and visas, money etc are quite surprising. At the moment Pro Language is charging Students 25,000 baht/course will be eligible for a 1 year ED Visa. This is to register for 180 lessons. They get all the paperwork sorted quickly and efficiently and because the school has been around a few years now, everything goes fine at the immigration office. The teachers are great too and the course material is good as you learn reading and speaking at the same time, which is a great way to learn. I know now that they have lots of classes starting for beginners and intermediate students, so now is a good time to approach them. Good luck and hope you enjoy you time in Thailand!

Walen School - study for free In my limited experience working for private sector business and having been owner of a couple business, the first rule of good business practice we learned, do not bad mouth your competition. I agree, there are many who have never run a business yet consider themselves expert, (some teachers are accused of this), by the same token running or working for a successful business does not make all of these people experts. (many what were successful companies are closed each year) Most of us are brought up to believe that you get what you pay for, quality costs more than than the lack of same, most of the time. That leads to the old saying 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

digital Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Here is what has happened for me so far if its of any use to anybody: 14 May: Transfer payment to bank account 19 May: I sent completed application forms which was sent to me by mail, passport copies, education certificate copies, 7 photo's. 20 May Documents I sent EMS arrived with OLA. 1 June: OLA email me to say they have the documents ready now and send back same day registered post. 8 June: Documents arrived to my address ....In English: Class enrollment form confirmation, Letter of accepting admission. ....In Thai: letter requesting Visa, original & copy of MOE approval letter, 6 page document that looks like the schools registration, copy of house registration, copy of ID card. I've always had quick replies to my emails (except for 1 which was next day), sent 4 mails before payments and more during and after. I am going to KL end of the month to obtain my Ed-Visa. They said to me they have more than 30 student now in Phuket and Krabi and guarantee 1000% there is no problem for visa and 3 month extensions. (I asked about Phuket because this is where I will go for extensions) There is 1 hour per week of live Skype lessons and they will send lessons every week ( I took this to mean 1 hour of taught lessons per week plus the rest self study, there is something on the website about daily quizzes and tests + video chat room for practice with other students). Since I signed up they now seem to have some arrangement with island tefl who now seem to be handling the appliactions/marketing (think??) School started in 2532 (1989?) I think from trying to understand the documents. I am scheduled to start lessons 1st August. Any more questions I will share what I know, will post back after getting Visa and once lessons start. Update to say returned from KL last night with single entry Non-Ed Visa issued, no problems, passport already had non-o multiple+ visa runs for almost a year, non-b + extensions based on working and a single tourist visa. Immigration officer politely asked me what I was studying upon entering Thailand and where I was studying, he seemed friendly so not sure if it was just chat or he was checking up on me? I just said Thai and Bangkok he said ok you get 90 days stamp. Will report back once lessons start, hope I manage to learn some Thai as I know next to nothing from several years here.

TCA Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks for the update digital and good luck with your studies! One question for you reading your post again - why is a copy of your house registration required? I've now been in touch directly with OLA via email and can confirm that they have been speedy and comprehensive with their replies. As digital said above, Skype lessons are once per week (for 1-2 hours), with the balance of the 200 hours made up by self-study. They have students of varying degrees of proficiency and also have an advanced course. For the record, the school confirmed that the poster above named as Richie White, who seemed to be speaking as an OLA employee, has nothing to do with their school. Or at least nobody with that name is associated with them. I never got a reply from him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriswillems Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) A short history of the ED-visa schools: 1. First people thought you had to study 200 hours per year to get a ED-visa (which is very little, but hey, smart businessmen discovered a new business in this: the "ED-visa school"). 2. Then they said it should be only 180 hours and 20 hours home work. (homework is also studying, smart thinking). 3. Then they changed hours to lessons, so they called it 180 lessons - and a lesson is only 50 minutes. (Great idea!). 4. After that they introduced online studying via Skype (I never understood why would you need a visa for that. You can do that from within your home country). 5. In the next step the students were not required to come to the courses anymore. In fact, a huge percentage of the students almost never shows up for the courses but the schools still give them the paperwork to do the 90-day extensions. (Any student of a "ED-visa school" will confirm this -- Isn't that wonderful?) 6. And now in the next step they call it online assistance, and there's no teacher involved anymore and you pay only half of what you paid before! So only 12500B for access to one website (Isn't that cheap!). And now a little preview of the future: 7. the last step: the end of the ED-visa The website (pasathaionline.com) is registered to: OLAINTERNATIONAL Phongsin Sinpibarn ([email protected]) 1895/39-40 37/1 soi Phahonyothin Rd Chatu Church Bangkok,10220 TH Tel. +66.0870242772 OLAINTER.AC.TH was registered in november 2010. The school is supposed to be 20 years old. This is the manager: http://www.facebook.com/people/Phongsin-Sinpibarn/100000160933451 He studied in Australia, so if you call the number above he should be able to answer you questions in English.

netineti Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hello everyone, After carefully reading this thread, i got in touch with the school. Got a rather quick reply, with a 72-hours promotion offer of 12,500. Indeed, as kriswillems was saying, one big consideration seems to be the fact, that one does NOT need an Ed-visa to study online. I am puzzled as to how the Immigration would accept and permit such an arrangement... What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCA Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) Indeed, as kriswillems was saying, one big consideration seems to be the fact, that one does NOT need an Ed-visa to study online. I am puzzled as to how the Immigration would accept and permit such an arrangement... What do you think? You don't need a visa to study Thai by attending classes in person either. The fact is that study at the OLA school under an ED visa is authorised by the Ministry of Education, be it online or otherwise, so the visas seem to be issued easily enough. Whether the online part is conveniently omitted from the documentation, I don't know. The question for me would be with regard to visa extensions, assuming you try for the next 90 days in a different province to where the school is based. I could see Immigration officers potentially raising an eyebrow at that. As we know, unfortunately Immigration are a law unto themselves at times, so what happens in one location won't necessarily be the same in another place. Hopefully poster digital and some others will post their experiences here though. Edited July 23, 2011 by TCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
