SETV then, Penang for a month, then ED Visa for 6 or 12 months

[Mover1]

Hi,

Could a more experienced member check this is ok for me:

1. I get a SETV on 29th March from London Embassy, and my flight out of Heathrow to Thailand is on 30th March.
2. I go to Penang on 25th May, get a SETV in Penang on 18th June and fly back into Thailand on 20th June.
3. I apply for a 6 or 12 month ED Visa via a Thai language school and can stay for 6-12 months.

Does that all sound feasible? I'm under 50 so no retirement visa available.

Is there a language school with branches spread around Thailand, so i can attend the classes but in different parts of the country?

Thanks for any help.

I very much doubt this will be possible.

Ah well, worth a try!

Why not get a METV if you're a UK passport holder that can give you 7 to 8 months before needing to go and get a SETV in a neighbouring country.

That was my original plan Nick, maybe i'll stick to that as it will be less messing around, and apply for ED Visa when the METV runs out.

Go to chiangmai buddy website they advertise a volunteer visa which will give you similar length of stay to a ED visa but less total cost and less time commitment to classes.
