MantisMan Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hello, I will be going to Nathon before Dec 31st to renew my ED visa. I was told that they do check your THAI language abilities. I am only on course 2 of my Thal language studies and am a bit concerned/nervous about this. Is there any truth to this and should I be concerned? I'd hate to be turned down simply because I forgot some vocabulary or he asked me questions unrelated to what I studied. NOTE>>>>>>>>>>>>> I placed this thread here because not all immigration offices are standard in their dealings, therefore, I made it specific for Koh Samui and to help others in similar situation here. Three of my classmates will be going to Nathon this week and where wondering the same thing. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) This hasn't reached me either. Perhaps a teacher will reply this evening or the OP could try the new "Education" pages (presumable they're posting there).

MantisMan Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Well, I also heard it through the grapevine that you've also have to write your name in THAI for the officer interviewing you. People like to do that for the Chinese/Japanese/Korean anyways. It seems this is not a "go-in-slap-down-1900 bt-khop khun krab/ka" deal. You've go to prove you can speak something. My school does not start writing until Course 7. I'm starting Course 3 in December. I'm going back and reviewing everything. I need it anyways....... Please let me know what you hear.

Rooo Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Don't fret too much, if your school is above board everything should be OK. Perhaps ask them to write you a letter stating what level you have reached & take your books with you. Just a thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
