Education Visa in Chiang Mai

Education Visas generally fall into two categories. Academic Education: for students studying at recognized educational institutions, such as international schools, high schools, colleges, universities, and Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctoral degree programs. The visa is based on your enrollment in an accredited academic institution. Non-Academic Education: for students attending approved training programs, such as Thai language schools, Muay Thai schools, self-defense schools, Thai cooking schools, and other approved educational courses. These programs are designed for learning specific skills and usually require visa extensions every 90 days, depending on the school's program and Immigration requirements.
