You should do a video demonstrating your progress and skill acquired during your course

[@TheAlphacad]

Yes, it would be helpful to hear Thai spoken with an American English accent , I'm having trouble with proper tone / pitch.

[@PLATINUMSWORDS]

Love the straight to the point info you provided. Subbed.

[@keepitreal1547]

Very interesting & informative, thank you to you both. Many will find this very valuable.

[@ChiangMaiThaiVideoVlog]

Thanks for sharing, Tony. This kind of info is always interesting.

[@roblacyclist1170]

Tony, thank you for the very thorough explanation of the ED Thai visa 😊.

[@justBEingjada]

I really like that you offer one on one I might take you up on that that’s very kind

Real good work Tony. This was something I wanted to check when I came there and couldn't. You just made my day !

@@dexterspeights3484 True, after further consideration I’ll go to Philippines first to save up for the Elite Visa. The ED visa might take too much of my time since I’ll be working and doing Muay Thai

I wanted to do education visa for muay thai only but the gyms that seemed worth my time didnt offer ed visa, only casual gyms in old town. I guess ill do thai language school and then go to muay thai, i will end up missing 2 or 3 muay thai classes out of 12 per week so i guess its okay

[@jonathanhart1941]

This is a great video, thank you. Are there any nice apartments close to the school?

Rental homes, yes.

[@bamisileadebayo7860]

Thank you for the information. Do I need to have returned tickets back to USA? Even though I don't know how long I might stay in Thailand.

You can ask the school there is a link in the description. I know they would know for sure.

Hi Just found one of your videos, really good. I am married to a Thai lady and I wish to come to Thailand in October for good. Money is the main problem. My pension is just over 1000 English pounds per month. I have been to Thailand nineteen times over the years, always on tourist visas. We have a house in Chom Thong, not too far from Hang Dong. What advice would you suggest regarding my next visa. Thanking you

Hi. I enjoyed your video. I noticed you said you were not an ED Visa via Lana language school. Are you on an ED Visa with another education program or do you have a different visa type? I was considering doing self-defence to get an ED visa. Still, I was wondering if I could also go to a language school or cooking school if I decided to do so or is there a limit to the number of hours a week you are allowed to study overall. Also, I would not want to skip classes but is there usually flexibility built into these programs for tourists? Many Thanks! Great work!

[@TheNarrowGate]

Definitely ask the school. There is a link in the description. She could answer that for you in detail.

[@eamonn3863]

Hiya. Great input man…. Do you know if I can change from an Ed visa to a non immigrant o visa without leaving the country? Thanks in advance.

[@TheNarrowGate]

You may want to visit the description and ask her. She is the expert. 😊

[@JenG-nw1kw]

Awesome video, almost all question's are answered. Is there an age limit to apply for the ED visa? Can a 52 and 60 years old apply for it? After the first year when you need to leave Thailand do you need to apply for the ED visa again? Is there a specific time period you need to leave Thailand between the firs and the second year of language course? Thank you in advance if you could answer this questions. Best Jen

[@TheNarrowGate]

Thanks for watching. Please reach out to Lanna Language school, they will be able to answer your questions. Link in the description.

[@adglennon]

NEW VIDEO IDEA: How about a video on how streaming services are used in Thailand. I have a ROKU device and I understand that they, nor Amazon Fire sticks are natively supported in Thailand. Does that affect their usage? Also, how you pay for Netflix and other services and what services are now usable there, both with and without a VPN? For example, I know that HBO Max, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video don't work without a VPN. Many unknowns out there for a lot of potential expats. Thanks!

You mentioned everything except the most important thing and that's the price ,and financial requirements .

[@TheNarrowGate]

You can look at the link to the school in the description to get the prices. Those things change so I don’t state them. There are no financial requirements for an ED visa.

[@justBEingjada]

Is it 4 times a week 2 hours a time ??? That’s extreme

[@travis.3]

Are they able to assist with online schooling/ED Visa if moving to Pattaya and not Chiang Mai?

You may want to ask Lanna Language School. Link in description.

[@stallionjr2009]

As someone who is interested visiting Thailand in the near future and would like to study Thai language, can you recommend any Condos near the Lanna Thai language school ?

[@TheNarrowGate]

Not sure of any very close to the school.

[@kin-c72]

Another great video. Keep it up. If I did decide to study Thai at Lanna Language school, which area would you recommend I stay at? near the school or around the old city?

[@TheNarrowGate]

If you have your own transportation, either would work. You may get sick of the tourists in Old City though.

[@hyperFRG]

I live in trat, but cant find any school close. Any ideas?

[@TheNarrowGate]

I’m not familiar with that part of Thailand. Sorry about that.

[@ponsawankaewpa8440]

ED visa have to be apply before entering Thailand. right? please correct me if I misunderstood.

[@lannalanguageschool27]

You can come to Thailand with a 60 days tourist visa or 30 days on arrival and convert to an education visa also. But the process takes around 2 months so you will need to apply as soon as you arrive.

[@MMAandRandomclips]

Is there a limit how many times you can do the yearly ed visa

Can a husband get an ED visa and the wife get a Dependant visa if she doesn't want to take language classes?

Yes,you can. But you will have to apply for education visa at The Thai consulate in your home country or consulate near Thailand. And need to show marriage certificate.

Thanks Tony, Quick question. How many days a week is the language school? Can it be a part time? 1 or 2 days a week? Or is the school always full time? Reason we ask is because we might have a new born baby by the time we move to Chiang mai and might need to share the times we go to class between my wife and I. Many thanks
