Going For My Third Visa (Laos Border Run Crackdown)

[traveller22]

i heard that they are cracking down on border runs now, i will be going for my third visa next month....do you think its best to go for an education visa and what schools can someone recommend. i am in bangkok

Can't say for sure, but a third might be in order. A double entry would be more doubtful.

If you want to stay longterm in Thailand and ED-visa is certainly a better option. What is best for you is a matter of personal taste. I advise tyou to visit some schools and take a free class to get a feel of the school and make your choise on that. Each person has his own way of learning, you must choise one that fits you the best.

You can click on the banners on the right from some language schools, for some more info.

okay. my visa expires on the 7th march.. i should probably get an extension for 30days andf that should give me enough time to source a school and get the new ed visa right?

That will be enough time. But after you get the paperwork from the school, you will need to apply for an ED-visa at a Thai consulate in the region. You cannot convert in Thailand itself.

On a side note: it doesn't have to be a study Thai, it can be other studies as well. As long as the school is recognised as an educational institution.

bit of a longshot but do you know the cheapest study courses available?
