🇹🇭 Thai Language Program

ED Visa timeline: Thai Program

Your ED Visa is not given for the whole program at once. You receive a first stamp of 90 days, then extend at Immigration level by level. Here is a typical example for our full Thai Language Program (14 months 2 weeks), so you can plan your stay.

Please note: this is an example. The exact length of each extension is decided by Immigration and follows your Ministry of Education letter. Our team gives you your own plan with dates when you register.
