Hi Gents,

I'm off to Singapore on Jan 15th, heading to Thai Embassy on 16th Jan to obtain a Thai ED Visa

Gonna study Thai for a year at Walen in Bangkok

Does anyone know if the turnaround time for processing,

ie if I drop in the forms etc on the Monday can I pickup the following day same as KL ?

Do I need to book a return flight out of Thailand for 1 year later or is that just for Tourist visas ?

Any other tips ?

Many Thanks

S

Whoops just read I need a tax certificate from the school also....
