The teachers and registration department takes care of your education. We take care of your visa.

After you have made payment, it takes about 7 working days to receive a letter of acceptance from the University or can do it in 1 to 3 days for (fast-track extra charge). Then we will make an appointment with you to go with us to immigration and receive the first 90 days. We can make hotel arrangements for you for one night because this is a two day process.

What is the difference between an education visa/student visa from a University as opposed to an education visa from a language school in Thailand? The difference is the immigration process and the price. NOTE : You cannot open a bank account on an education visa from a language school of Muay Thai school because it’s not considered a long-term visa from the banks point of view. If you decide to get an education visa/student visa from a language school you need to go to immigration every 3 months for attention to the visa. With the university, you receive a total of 15 months and can stay with this program up to 2 or 3 years and only attention to the visa 2 times for a total of 15 months. Also language schools are a bit more expensive as they charge every 3 months. After you add up all the extra immigration fees and course fees and the hassle of going to immigration for the education visa from a language school, it just makes common sense that you choose an education visa from a university. At the end of the day the university is respected more by immigration and the banks than the language school or Muay Thai school. Choose wisely and ask the language school questions like do they assist with you opening a Thai bank account.
