Review passport, nationality, previous visa and course eligibility requirements before paying.
Passport and entry history
What passport conditions does the school check?
Your passport should have at least 6 months of validity and 4 blank pages. You should hold a TR-60 Tourist Visa or eligible visa-exempt entry, have 45 to 60 days of permitted stay remaining, and have no more than 2 Thailand entries recorded during 2026.
Is there a minimum number of previous Thailand entry stamps?
No previous Thailand entry is required. A fresh passport history or first visit is usually the simplest case. We mainly check for overstays and repeated use of short-stay or visa-exempt entries.
Will several months in Thailand on tourist stamps affect my application?
More than 2 Thailand entries in the year can prevent an in-country application. You may still enroll but need to apply through a Thai embassy in your home country or a nearby country. Send your passport and all Thailand entry stamps from the last 2 years so we can check the correct route.
Can a previous ED Plus visa holder apply through a language school?
A previous ED or ED Plus visa does not automatically prevent another application, but you cannot repeat an ED Visa for the same language. You must leave Thailand, return on a fresh tourist stamp and apply for a different eligible language. Native English speakers cannot use an English course for ED Visa purposes. Applicants from China, Taiwan or Singapore cannot use a Chinese course for ED Visa purposes.
Are there nationality restrictions or an age limit?
There is no fixed age limit and no blanket nationality restriction. Course eligibility may depend on your native language and previous ED Visa history. Send your passport photo page and all Thailand entry stamps from the last 2 years so we can review the case before payment.
Will you confirm eligibility for an Iranian citizen before payment?
Yes. We accept applicants from different countries, including Iran. Send a clear passport copy and your Thailand entry stamps from the last 2 years. We will review your eligibility before you pay, but the final decision belongs to the relevant authority.
Does an ED Visa on an old passport still count?
Yes. A new passport does not remove your previous ED Visa history. You cannot repeat an ED Visa for the same language. You must leave Thailand, return on a fresh tourist stamp and apply for a different eligible language. Send information from both passports for review.
Country-specific questions
Do Iranian applicants need a police clearance certificate?
Iranian applicants must apply for the ED Visa in their home country. The country-requirements list provided to us does not mark Iran as requiring a criminal background check. Follow any additional instructions issued by the Royal Thai Embassy in Tehran.
What financial documents does an Iranian applicant need?
The school does not require bank statements or a minimum bank balance. You need a valid passport and must pay the school fee in full. A Thai embassy may request additional documents under its own current procedure.
Do Finnish applicants need a police clearance certificate?
Finnish applicants are not listed as requiring a criminal background check in the country-requirements document provided to us. If an embassy or immigration officer requests additional documents for an individual case, the applicant must provide them.
Can a Finnish citizen entering visa-exempt convert inside Thailand?
Yes. A Finnish citizen entering through an eligible tourist or visa-exempt route can apply to convert to an ED Visa inside Thailand. We prepare the school documents and assist with the application process, including the applicable immigration form.
How does an Iranian citizen currently in Iran apply?
Apply through the Royal Thai Embassy in Tehran once your documents and Ministry of Education approval are ready. The school emails the required files so you can complete the application.
Other course and school questions
Can I study English and Chinese at the same time?
An ED Visa can be tied to only 1 language course. You can enroll in English with your ED Visa and pay separately to join Chinese classes through the school's other department.
Do you offer IELTS preparation?
No. We focus on practical, everyday language courses with our own certificates. We do not run official IELTS preparation or partner with outside testing organizations.
Is there a student ID card?
No. The school does not issue a student ID card.
Can I switch my study language partway through the course?
No. Changing your enrolled language partway through is not possible.
Can instruction be supported in Chinese or another language instead of English?
No. Instruction follows the language course you enroll in. For example, a Chinese course is taught mainly in Chinese with basic English support. We do not provide full instruction or translation in an unrelated supporting language.
Do you provide accommodation or a dormitory?
No. We do not provide accommodation or dormitory facilities. We can recommend an agent who may help you find accommodation.
Are most students Thai or international?
Most students are international.
Can students under 18 apply?
Yes. Students under 18 may enroll with a parent or guardian's approval. A guardian is required for the application and enrollment process.
