ORIGINAL POSTER

We entered Thailand in June 2021 on a tourist visa and then switched to an education visa to study Thai at a private language school. We would really like to study Thai for another year at the same school. Is there an official rule for how many years one can study at a private language school? If it’s possible for us to stay on an education visa for a second year, can we renew our visa within the country or do we have to exit/re-enter?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry concerns the regulations surrounding studying at a private language school in Thailand on an education visa (Non-ED). It's important to consult the language school for the specific duration allowed for language studies, as this may vary by province and school. Additionally, one can consider whether the visa can be renewed from within Thailand or if an exit and re-entry is necessary for visa extension.

You need to talk to your school if they have appropriate programs for next year's Non-ED and extensions.

There are rules for Non-ED how long you can learn one language. It depends on province regulations and how the school can support it.
