Have you heard about a student visa from language schools?

Yes. It’s a bit of a headache. If you don’t have to, just move on. If you must: totally possible.

Just to clarify: If you entered Thailand with a Middle Eastern passport, it is not possible to get a student visa from language schools in Phuket. Or as it’s also known: some kind of workaround. Ayelet, the expert (Ayelet from Koh Samui, for you), asks to add the following information: Although you can’t officially register for language studies in Phuket, you can register in other regions: Bangkok, Koh Phangan, Koh Samui, Pattaya, and there you can get a student visa for 9-12 months at a cost ranging between 55,000-85,000 baht per person per year (5,500-8,500 NIS), depending on the institution. Wow Ayelet, that was a really long sentence, I need to breathe before I write the next one. Note that the place where you obtained the visa will require you to return every three months. You receive the initial visa for 90 days, and then the dry law requires opening a bank account and depositing 40,000 baht into it for 60 days. Then, you go to immigration and get a stamp for the rest of the time. Every three months, you need to go to immigration for a check-in. And that’s it. This is the place to mention that after a deep conversation with Ayelet, it was clear there are differences between the requirements in Phuket and other locations (bank account, physical presence at immigration, attending classes).

So, each case is individual. This post is intended to provide as much information as possible. If you need a visa agent in Phuket, let me know. I’ll connect you. If you need a visa agent in Koh Samui or Koh Phangan, go to Ayelet. Does Ayelet approve? @olay17 Here for any questions.
