How SiamConsult supports you
If you’ve been accepted into an accredited Thai university or academic institution approved by the Ministry of Education (MOE), you can apply for the Academic Studies Visa. With your acceptance letter and school documents, SiamConsult will help you prepare every requirement, check each form carefully, and make sure your visa meets all Thai Immigration standards.
Thailand offers excellent international academic programs in many exciting fields.
Popular choices include Business Administration, International Relations, Medicine, Nursing, Engineering, Environmental Science, Architecture, Education, and Information Technology.
Many universities teach in English and have world-class reputations — making Thailand a wonderful place to gain knowledge, build your career, and experience true cultural diversity.
The Academic ED Visa usually starts with a 90-day entry and can be extended up to one year depending on your academic program. SiamConsult takes care of visa extensions, immigration appointments, and renewal documentation — keeping your visa valid and your study schedule stress-free.
The Academic Studies ED Visa is for study purposes only. Working or earning income in Thailand requires a Non-Immigrant B Visa and a valid Work Permit. If you plan to work after graduation, SiamConsult can guide you through the legal process of changing your visa and obtaining your work authorization.
To apply for your Academic ED Visa, you’ll need your official university acceptance letter, MOE approval, a valid passport, recent photos, and proof of sufficient financial funds.
SiamConsult reviews and organizes every document for you, ensuring all forms are accurate and complete before submission.
We make your visa preparation simple and professional.
You can apply for your Academic Studies ED Visa at a Thai Embassy or Consulate in your home country, or, in many cases, convert your existing visa right here in Thailand.
