viking639 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 My partner will be applying for a Settlement Visa next year. She needs to complete and pass an English reading and writing test as part ofnthe application. Can any members recommend a school either in Phuket or Bangkok that she could enrol to? Also a rough idea of the cost would be good as well! Many thanks. Viking639 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I guess you are talking about getting a visa for another coun try than Thailand, so moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 As this is a requirement for entry into UK will move to the forum concerned with UK visa matters as likely more with experience reading there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Assuming you are asking about a UK visa:- Although test providers in Thailand will insist on her taking reading and writing as well, as far as her visa application is concerned she only needs speaking and listening. So it doesn't matter if she fails the reading and writing parts. It is for her Indefinite Leave to Remain application after 5 years living in the UK that she will need to pass a written test. See under 'Language' in UK Settlement visa Basics. Test providers must be approved by the UKBA, and the above link will give you a list of those. They also provide courses, but she does not have to study with one of them, only take the test with one of them. Note that this is the situation now; there may well be changes to the requirement over the next 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 This is the website of a reputable school that teachers English. The website contains the prices and hours for normal courses, but I'm sure that they can pattern special courses, at a price of course. Contact them direct for further info:http://www.tlslanguageschool.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact them direct for further info:http://www.tlslanguageschool.com/ CTLS ( tls language school) do advertise an A1 level test, but I believe that you have to do their English course leading up to the test. I'm not sure about that as we have not had any applicants that have used them. I did contact them to ask for details of costs, etc, but never got a reply on that. If I do hear from them I will post details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saudi Sid Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 OP - no need to do an English course as a lead up to the course.Just do an onlien placement test first to pre-assess your partner's level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
