bigwhitewarrior Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I heard immigration are coming to the language schools to check up on this week. I advise every one to attend school this week.Lol. Isn't everyone going every week already? Shouldn't need a warning lol I am amazed that the Walen in Bkk says they are one of the most popular schools in Bkk and all the students attend most of the classes and accomplishes this with 3 small uncrowded classrooms. 3 small classrooms? Where did you get this from ? There are 6 classrooms downstairs and 6 classrooms upstairs. Filled to a maximum of 12 students per class and no more. Which is brilliant as it is not overcrowded and each student still gets personal attention from the teachers. And yes I see the students attend daily. The system is brilliant for learning the tones and the language. It took me only 7 weeks to pass my alphabet test. Out of all the language schools I have ever been too, Walen has definitely got a great and efficient system of learning, but the student has to willing to learn!

Are you a former or current student? I think think you are aware of policies. Previous comments implied the poster felt enrolled students needed to be told to attend because immigration might be checking. If students generally attending then no need for warning Yes, I know several former students from 4 months ago and I am aware of how the immigration form was filled out. Maybe changed now or maybe same because was ok before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troublemaker69 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 i just got the first extension of my ed visa last week, was 90 days. it is, however, my 4th year of being on an ed visa (2nd year was extending from the 1st year, 3rd year was cut short by one final extension last september when they changed the rules and stuff so i had to go to Laos and get a new ed visa). lady at the first desk (who is often quite rude) asked me to speak in thai, i did. asked me to read in thai from the application form that i gave them. i did. asked me to write my name and school in thai, i did. got some more questions from desk 2 and 3 but they weren't as tough on me.if u go to school and actually study and are friendly with the staff, u should have no problem with getting these 90 day extensions. i go to LX btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 .Probably because Walen was just in another thread doing his usual thing.... Taking pop shots at competitors while talking his place up ...... But I guess his students are not immune from the 2 month extensions either. I am really surprised because they always portrait themselves as the perfect school, where you won't get any problem. Why would a student from the best reputable school, with best attendance and best teaching like WALEN would get only 2 months? Because of all the past abuse of the ED system .. so it seems one rule applies to all at the moment.But like you say..things change all the time..let's hope for the better. Wallen has always protrait itself as a school near perfection, way ABOVE other schools and white as snow regarding abusing the system. How could a perfect school like Walen with pricey course would only get you 3 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianp0803 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 People on Ed Visa who read and speak Thai already probably won't have any problems and the Ed Visa is still a good long stay option although now more expensive due to having to pay for more classes to get Ed Visa paperwork. People who can't yet read and speak Thai better find a new alternative to stay in Thailand long term or actually learn Thai. If you can't speak Thai then best to attend class and write notes in your book. If immigration believes that you are attending class and are a serious student then less likely to have problems. I would think schools with good lawyers and good relationship with immigration would have less problems but that does not seem to be the case now. Walen portrays itself as white as snow about abuse of Ed system. Checking with former students may support or contradict this image. Does the Bkk Walen have more than three small classrooms in the Time Square building teaching Thai classes? I would think 7 weeks of 4 or more hours a week to learn the alphabet is quite long unless the test has changed. Before it was saying the letters in order from memory, recognizing most the letters and vowels and reading a couple words. I got out after 2 weeks but also studied at home.

How could a perfect school like Walen with pricey course would only get you 3 months? Because of immigration's rules. The longest extension allowed for language studies is 90 days. Before the new police order came into effect last August there were some immigration offices that did one year (some 6 months) extensions. Bangkok has been doing 90 days for several years. The new rules place them in the category of non-formal schools which limits extension to 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackoholly Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I got the normal, but my Thai is above average for someone that has studied for 6 months. Also I'm at the big 'W' school.How long had you been in Thailand and how well did you speak Thai before getting an educational visa to stay in Thailand? 8 months I've been in Thailand and I couldn't speak a single word beforehand.

lildragon Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Just got the call from Pro Language in Asoke. I HAVE to go to get my extension in CHIANG MAI! next week as apparently their students are only get ONE WEEK! At Cheang Wattana! Can anyone else confirm if this is happening with any other schools? So now I have to pay to get to CM, pay for hotels etc, pay for a 'queue number' in CM (1500 baht), pay for the extension itself then come back. I am pretty convinced it is some sort of dispute between Pro Language and CW immigration, that I could go there tomorrow speak and write thai well and it wouldn't matter a jot because something going on behind the scenes.

You have to live and attend school within the assigned region of the immigration office to get an extension. It sounds a bit dodgy to me. Paying to get a queue number is real strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be studying at uni here and (if all goes well) switching ed visas next month. Let it be known though. Pro language school have some sort of dispute with BKK immigration (probably not 'contributing' enough) and expect their students to fit the bill for it. Please don't ever recommend this school to anyone. I'll go with it this time as I need the 90 days to register and sign up to uni. But they'll never get another baht from me past that.

papatango Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I went today to the school office and asked about the documents for the immigration as I have to get my extension next week, then they started to ask me if I had any plan to leave the country soon. I said Yes I have to leave next month for 2 weeks, then they told me your visa expire on feb 4th and you have to apply for a new visa!! In fact they didnt process the documents and as always it s not their fault but mine. I got my ED visa in August last year and it seems that for those who has some writing on the Visa sticker they cant get more than 6 months visa then have to apply for a new one after that Students in my school get 7 days, some 30 days some 60 days, nothing more than that, and it all depend on the school you attend. no much choices now, considering switching to a Tourist Visa.... is it true that the rule changed weeks ago about the 6 months ED visa ? or is it just some BS as anyway they didnt processed the documents to the Ministry of Education Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned before the official rule for extensions is 90 days each time up to one year an nothing new has ever been published after 29i/8/ 2015. Officers can (the wording in the regulation explicitly allows them) reduce these periods on occasions. Edited January 21, 2015 by paz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you need to apply for your new visa after 6 months, instead of a year. I would not rush to tourist visa yet If that new 1 year visa comes for february it could change alot of things for those with current tourist visa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might have something to do with the "dispute" between the school and Immigration and why their students are now getting shorter extensions than others How would immigration know that though? Unless they were specifically spying on some students. Even then it is extremely harsh to punish all of pro languages students on the actions of a few. I'll be going there today for an explanation, no doubt they will feed me some BS. I just want an assurance from them that my 15k deposit will be returned to me should something go wrong getting my stamp. I study and have paid my money for a year visa, I (and my fellow students) should not bear the brunt of their disputes with officialdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would actually make sense They could have accidentally(or being ratted on) caught a teacher without work permit, saw he was a student there, and that his school attendance schedule was not viable with his working hours. The school being also caught red handed of giving fake attendance info, it would make sense they now refuse extensions from the all branch. That would be a typical immigration office reaction. But as you said, it is unlikely they admit to that. They will surely cover up. I wonder what they tell prospective students right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there is a note next to the visa saying that it is for "basic Thai" courses. So if I wish I can go back and get a new visa for "intermediate Thai". A new surprise rule. What a joke.
