Many foreigners come to Thailand on a tourist visa. But if you want to stay longer than a few months, a tourist visa can be difficult. An Education (ED) visa is one of the easiest ways to stay in Thailand long-term. Here’s a simple comparison.
📍
Tourist Visa: Short and Limited
A tourist visa usually lasts 60 days. You can extend it for 30 more days, but that’s only 90 days total. Some people try border runs or multiple visas, but this can be risky. Immigration may ask questions or deny entry.
📍
ED Visa: Long-Term and Legal
An ED visa allows you to stay in Thailand for up to one year. You don’t need to leave the country. You study Thai 3–4 days per week, and we help with the full visa process—documents, immigration visits, and 90-day reports.
📍
More Stability with an ED Visa
Tourist visas expire quickly. You have to plan your next move all the time. With an ED visa, you can relax and enjoy Thailand while learning Thai. Some schools don’t guide students at all, but we support you every step.
✅ ED visas are better for long-term stays. You stay legal, avoid stress, and learn a useful skill. Plus, learning Thai helps with daily life—shopping, talking to locals, and understanding Thai culture.
