Student Visas, Cat. E, Eb And Ed

[limbos]

In my line of work, we can offer participants in our programs help with Visa applications.

We provide them with letters for their local Thai Embassies for applications of a Student Visa, category E.

However, the last two persons we send a letter to, we needed to change the letters to category EB or ED.

Apparently there's no cat E anymore.

Most of the applicants are from Western European countries, like UK, Belgium, France etc or USA.

Can anybody shed any light into this what categories are available now.

Thanks.
