Option 1 · The school’s preferred route
Enter Thailand first, then apply here
Come in on a tourist visa or visa exemption and contact the school as soon as you arrive. From there it is Route 1: we prepare the documents and you apply at Immigration in Bangkok.
- This must be no more than your 2nd Thailand entry this calendar year. With more entries, the school normally cannot convert your visa inside Thailand.
- Your entry must give you at least 45 days, counting 1 extension. A 30-day visa exemption plus the standard 30-day extension (1,900 THB) is enough. Immigration usually grants the extension, but it cannot be guaranteed.
Repeated Thailand entries or a criminal record may affect eligibility, so send us your passport and entry stamps before you travel.
Option 2
Apply before you arrive

The 3 routes this check chooses between
Route 1: Apply inside Thailand
For visitors already here on a visa exemption or tourist visa, with enough permitted stay left and no more than 2 Thailand entries this year. You enroll at the school, we get Ministry of Education approval, and you apply at Immigration in Bangkok.
Route 2: Start in Thailand, apply overseas
For visitors already here whose stay is too short or who have 3 or more entries this year. You enroll here, then apply at a Thai embassy or consulate in a nearby country once the approval is ready.
Route 3: Apply before you arrive
For people outside Thailand. You enroll remotely, we email the approval documents, and you apply for the e-Visa from the country you are in. The school's preferred alternative is to enter Thailand first on a tourist visa or visa exemption and follow Route 1, if that is no more than your 2nd entry this year and your stamp gives at least 45 days.
