Comparing ED Visa Programs at Language Schools in Thailand

April 4, 2025

What to look for before choosing where to study

If you want to stay in Thailand long-term, an Education (ED) visa is one of the easiest ways. Many language schools offer ED visa programs, but not all schools are the same. Some help students a lot, while others don’t guide students at all.

Visa Support Matters
The ED visa process can be confusing, especially if it's your first time. A good school helps with every step—forms, immigration visits, and renewals. Some schools leave students to do everything alone, which can lead to visa problems. At Wave, we help with the full visa process.

📍 Class Schedules and Attendance Rules
To keep your visa, you must attend class regularly. Some schools offer flexible schedules. Others are strict. Make sure the class times fit your lifestyle. Immigration also checks if you are really studying, so attendance is important.

🌱 Quality of Teaching
Some schools focus only on giving visas. The classes are boring or not useful. A good school will teach real language skills that help you in daily life. Learning Thai helps with daily life, like talking to shopkeepers or reading signs.

✈️ Extra Activities and Support
Look for schools that offer more than just classes. Some include cultural lessons, trips, or conversation practice. These extras help you enjoy life in Thailand more. It’s important to follow Thai etiquette, and schools should help you learn that too.

Before you choose a school, ask questions and read reviews. The right ED visa program should help you stay legal, learn real skills, and enjoy your time in Thailand.
