Many foreigners want to stay in Thailand for more than a few months. One legal way to do this is with an Education (ED) visa. It’s a popular option for people who want to live in Thailand long-term without working.
📍
What Is an ED Visa?
An ED visa is a student visa. It allows you to stay in Thailand while studying. Many people choose to study the Thai language. You can apply for this visa through a registered school like Wave Language School.
📍
How Does It Work?
After you join a school, the school gives you documents to apply for the ED visa. You can apply at a Thai embassy or consulate outside the country. Once approved, you can stay in Thailand for 3 months at first. Then you can extend the visa every 90 days, up to one year. We help with the full visa process.

Why Is It Popular?
ED visas are one of the easiest ways to stay in Thailand long-term. You don’t need a job or a lot of money in the bank. Some schools don’t guide students at all, but a good school helps with every step—application, extensions, and immigration visits.
✅ Learning Thai helps with daily life, like going to the market or speaking with neighbors. At the same time, the ED visa gives you a legal and low-stress way to stay in Thailand while you learn.
