Lenalernt Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hello everybody, is it possible to start with a ED-Visa (multiple entry), attend a government approved language class for a couple of weeks/months and then leave the country and re-enter with a tourist visa (multiple-entry; each time 60+30 days)? I know that it should work the other way around but think its more logical to start with learning a bit of Thai first and travel later. Need to cover a time of 9 months though. Any suggestions?

beechguy Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Do keep in mind that it isn't necessary to have an ED Visa to study. You may consider applying for a triple entry Tourist Visa, it may be valid for only 6 months, but if used properly with extensions it will cover about 9 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattGreenfield Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've looked into it a lot over the last few days and I think the above suggestion to be the best option. It allows for more freedom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Triple entry TV is the best. If applied for just before leaving for Thailand you can get almost 270 days with 2 border runs and 3, 30 day, extensions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenalernt Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Thank you all mso much :-D you convinced me that its really the best choice to just get the Tourist Visa as that is enough paperwork already and youre free to travel around and as you said you can still attend a language school.....as I am a language teacher myself and have studied language teaching research Im quite picky with language schools and would like to actually visit a few test lessons and not book a class in advance from overseas anyways :-) :-D Edited April 28, 2013 by Lenalernt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
