Advance English course - Qualified for ED visa?

[inventorinthailand]

I would like to increase my skills in the English language. Would an advance English course qualify me for an ED-visa?

Any suggestion where to find such school in Pattaya/Jomtien?

Your English sounds good to me

But i guess there is always room for improvement.

In Thailand they should still understand the concept that native English speakers can always improve their English skills for a fee.

All I know is that in there ED visa extensions for 3 months "cost" 5k instead of 1,900. If u don't like paying 5k, your "chances" are you will get 1 month.

So you should take that into account when calculating the total cost.

It would be hard to find an advance level.

But visa wise doable

If as said previously you don't mind paying 5K for an extension that really costs 1900B.

What countries passport do you carry and what is your native language?

I am unsure what you mean by "Advance English" but there are degree courses in English, provided by universities which if enrolled with would enable an Ed visa and a subsequent extension of stay to be obtained.

I have no information about schools in Pattaya but I am sure a simple internet search would provide an insight to what is available.

I'm Scandinavian and I would like toimprove my verbal skills. My English fairly advance as it is, but I would like to be able to speak with better confidence as well increasing my vocabulary a bit.

Okay, I will google it.

As a Scandinavian I suspect your English verbal skills/vocabulary far exceed anything which will be taught in a language school in Pattaya.

Just as an advice, when you interact with certain people trying to assess if maybe your English skills have improved too much, try to continue to speak broken English and that will justify it for another year.

Well....not too broken but not too good either.

Lol... Yes! I am gonna second this.

I can say (and this is no joke) that I have seen certain British people that could not spell correctly in English (because of lack of education etc). For real.

So perhaps some institutes should accomodate these people's needs also.

In other words, I don't believe you must be a non native English speaker to improve your English. There is always room for improvement.

Sunnyjim, if you were to work in Immigration, we would not stand a chance of getting any of our extensions from you, would we? Edited March 5, 2016 by lkv
