WHAT IS THE EDUCATION VISA (ED)?
What is the purpose of the Education Visa (ED) in Thailand? The Education Visa (ED) allows foreigners to stay in Thailand for up to 1 year while studying at accredited institutions. Each stay is valid for 90 days, requiring a 90-day extension at immigration with proof of continued enrollment and attendance. Popular among language learners, this visa enables students to immerse themselves in Thai culture while studying at recognized language schools, universities, or vocational centers.
