Maestro Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If your school qualifies, ie offers enough levels of studying English to cover three years, and if you qualify, ie have a good attendance record, do not work in Thailand and if required can show evidence of bringing money into Thailand from abroad to cover your cost of living, it should be possible without any problem.

Is that requirement? Evidence for money from abroad? Doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that requirement? Evidence for money from abroad? Doubt it A Thai law states that you are not allowed to work in Thailand without a work permit. If you are in Thailand for a long period – the OP is talking about three years – for study, an immigration officer may at some point ask you whether you are working in Thailand and if you confirm that you are not, he has the authority to ask you for evidence that you live on money coming in from abroad. In other words, for the ED extension it is a requirement that you do not work illegally in Thailand, even though this is not written with these words into the extension rules. Whatever document the immigration officer asks you to submit to dispel his suspicion that you might be working in Thailand becomes at that point a requirement.

The immigration office really believes that? If English is not your native language, why not? NB: Even if it is and the school/university accepts you, it would be a nice little loophole........................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what the problem is here. If the university has the course, It is not only Thai that is taught in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 You can but English courses are for 9 months only, so you have to renew the visa out of the country more often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 You can but English courses are for 9 months only, so you have to renew the visa out of the country more often No , we have schools in Pattaya offer English courses on 12 month visas that can be extended to 15 months. A lot of russians and other nationalities are studying English in Pattaya, the school provides you with all the documents for the immigration . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
