Hello!

I was told I only need a tourist visa to come to Thailand and study Thai Massage for 5 weeks... is this true?

It seems wrong because the visa application strongly words that a 60 day single entry tourist visa is only for tourism - but at the same time it's for 5 weeks, it's not that I'll be studying full time.

Can anyone advise me which is best? The massage school told me I only need a tourist visa - but I'd just like some clarification! I can't really afford to get kicked out

Many thanks!

We frequently have students studying Thai language on a Tourist Visa. I don't see how massage would be any different.

You are free to study on any type of entry. In fact it is encouraged and many food courses are a part of tourist programs.

It is 100% legal to study whilst on a Tourist Visa.

Thanks again everyone! I feel much more confident now

I had my doubts because of horror stories from travelers going to the US and Australia with wrong visas, and literally getting turned away upon arrival... grim...

Cheers!
