Before arriving in Thailand, students must obtain an Education Visa (Non-Immigrant ED visa) from the Thai embassy or consulate in their home country. The Education Visa is only good for 90 days, so after arriving in Thailand student must apply for a one- year student visa, which can be extended for additional one-year periods as needed. The visa fee is THB 1,900 (about 60 USD).
