The Non-Immigrant Education (ED) Visa is intended for foreign students who wish to study in international schools or participate in approved training courses in Thailand. This visa is commonly issued for students enrolled in language schools, universities, international schools, or other officially recognized educational programs.

The ED visa allows an initial stay of 90 days, with the possibility to extend the stay in Thailand for the duration of the study program, subject to immigration approval and compliance with visa conditions. The stay begins upon arrival on the territory.

Who Is Eligible?

The Non-Immigrant ED Visa is available to applicants who:

• Are enrolled in an approved educational institution in Thailand
• Have received an official acceptance letter or enrollment confirmation
• Meet Thai immigration and documentation requirements

Key Conditions

Holders of an ED visa are not permitted to work in Thailand

• Attendance and participation in the study program may be monitored by immigration authorities
• 90-day reporting is required for long-term stays

Required Documents

To begin the online visa application process, the following documents are typically required:

• Valid passport with at least 6 months validity
• Acceptance letter or enrollment certificate from a Thai educational institution
• Ministry of Education (MOE) letter confirming that the institution is authorized to operate and sponsor ED visas for foreign students
• Study plan or course details (university or language course students)

What’s good for parents about this visa?

Only one parent can be attached to each child’s visa (usually under 20 years old). That means 1 parent per 1 child’s visa. If there are 2 children, both parents may be eligible, but both children must be enrolled in a school institution.
