A Warm Welcome to Your Cultural Education Journey

We are honored to guide you step by step through your Cultural Education (ED) Visa process — from helping you choose the school to final visa approval and renewal. Our goal is to make your cultural experience in Thailand smooth, meaningful, and entirely worry-free.

From SiamConsult, you will receive more than visa support. You will gain a trusted partner who understands both Thai traditions and international expectations. We provide clear guidance, bilingual checklists, and continuous follow-up to ensure your paperwork, school coordination, and Immigration appointments are all handled perfectly — allowing you to enjoy your time in Thailand to the fullest. We are always just a call away.

Since 2009, we have assisted students, artists, cultural learners, and explorers across Krabi, Phuket, Ao Nang, Koh Lanta, Phi Phi, and Phang Nga in completing their Ministry of Education (MOE) approval, school enrollment, and Thai Immigration processes.

The Cultural Education Visa is ideal for anyone wishing to study Thai traditions in depth — from classical dance, Thai music, Muay Thai, traditional cooking, Buddhist philosophy, meditation, to Thai art and handicrafts. These programs are available at fully licensed cultural schools and offer an unforgettable connection to Thailand’s heritage, people, and way of life.

With the proper school approval and official enrollment certificates, with help from SiamConsult, you can apply for your Cultural Education ED Visa at a Thai Embassy or Consulate abroad, or, when permitted, inside Thailand.

SiamConsult
handles all coordination — preparing every document, booking appointments, and ensuring your submission meets both MOE and Immigration requirements.

From start to finish, we make the process clear, comfortable, and efficient. SiamConsult reviews every document carefully, follows up with your school, and manages renewals proactively — so your studies continue without interruption. Our service is personal, accurate, and designed to save you time and uncertainty.

IMPORTANT: The Cultural Education Visa is for cultural and educational purposes only. Working, teaching, or earning income in Thailand is not permitted unless you hold a valid Work Permit under a different visa category.

If your goal is to discover Thai culture, learn its rhythm, understand its values, and carry its beauty with you — SiamConsult is here to make it possible. We help you study, live, and grow in Thailand with peace of mind, respect, and genuine care.

From us to you — with pride, heart, and dedication — welcome to your cultural education journey in Thailand.
Thank you for allowing SiamConsult to be part of your story.

The Cultural Education Visa (ED Visa) allows foreigners to stay legally in Thailand while studying traditional Thai arts, culture, and heritage at schools approved by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
This visa is ideal for anyone who wants to go beyond tourism and experience Thailand deeply — through its dance, music, language, cuisine, meditation, Buddhism, and Muay Thai.
With this visa, you can live in Thailand long-term, join authentic programs, and learn from cultural experts while staying fully compliant with Thai Immigration regulations.
At SiamConsult, we prepare every document, coordinate directly with schools and authorities, and make sure your visa process is smooth, legal, and stress-free.

Anyone interested in Thai culture and lifestyle can apply for this visa. There are no strict age or nationality limits.
It’s perfect for travelers, retirees, artists, cultural learners, yoga and meditation enthusiasts — anyone seeking a meaningful long-term stay in Thailand.
SiamConsult helps you find the right program, prepares all paperwork, and guides you step by step from enrollment to visa approval.

You can study Thai dance, music, culinary arts, language, handicrafts, Buddhism, meditation, and Muay Thai — all taught by licensed cultural schools and masters approved by the MOE.
Programs range from short workshops to one-year certificates, giving you flexibility to learn at your own pace.
SiamConsult reviews all school documents and ensures your studies meet Thai Immigration and Ministry of Education requirements.

The initial visa is valid for 90 days and can be extended up to one year, depending on your school and attendance record.
Extensions are approved through Thai Immigration with proper school reports and enrollment proof.
With SiamConsult, every extension is handled on time and correctly, allowing you to enjoy your studies without interruption.

No, this visa is strictly for study and cultural learning only. It does not permit paid employment or business activities in Thailand.
However, if you plan to work later, SiamConsult can help you legally transition to a Non-Immigrant B Visa and apply for a Work Permit — ensuring full compliance.

You will need:
– A valid passport (6 months minimum).
MOE approval from your chosen school.
– A Letter of Acceptance or invitation.
Proof of sufficient financial means (20,000–40,000 THB).
Recent photos and completed visa application forms.
SiamConsult handles all paperwork for you, checks accuracy, and submits everything to the right authorities.

You can apply for your Cultural Education (ED) Visa at a Thai Embassy or Consulate in your home country, or, in some cases, convert your existing visa directly within Thailand.

The best option depends on your nationality, visa type, and current location — and we can help you apply the right way.

At SiamConsult, we personally manage your application from start to finish: reviewing documents, preparing your complete file, coordinating with your chosen cultural school, and communicating directly with Thai Immigration for a smooth and timely approval.

Our experience ensures every document is accurate and every requirement is met — so your Cultural Education Visa is approved without stress, delays, or confusion. With SiamConsult by your side, your cultural learning journey in Thailand begins with confidence.


Thailand is home to a wide range of exceptional cultural schools and education centers for international learners. Whether your passion is Thai cooking, dance, music, meditation, or Muay Thai, each region offers something truly unique. Wherever you choose to study, SiamConsult can help you apply, select the right licensed school, and complete your Cultural Education (ED) Visa application with care and precision.

Krabi & Phuket – Along Thailand’s Andaman coast, students can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle while learning authentic Thai traditions. In Krabi, cultural learners can explore batik art and Thai fruit carving at the Krabi Art & Craft Center or study traditional Thai cooking at Ya’s Thai Cookery School and Khao Thong Thai Cooking Class. In nearby Phuket, world-class institutions such as the Blue Elephant Cooking School offer professional culinary programs, while Sumalee Boxing Gym and Tiger Muay Thai provide internationally recognized training in Muay Thai, yoga, and fitness.

Chiang Mai – Often called the cultural capital of Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai offers programs in meditation, traditional Lanna handicrafts, Buddhism, and Thai dance. Students can join meditation retreats at Wat Suan Dok Meditation Center, take handicraft workshops at the Lanna Traditional House Museum, or learn dance and music through Chiang Mai University’s Faculty of Fine Arts. The city’s calm mountain setting, friendly locals, and creative energy make it ideal for long-term cultural study.

Bangkok – The nation’s capital combines modern convenience with deep-rooted cultural education. Students can study Thai classical dance, music, and drama at the College of Dramatic Arts, fine arts at Silpakorn University, or culinary techniques at the Baipai Thai Cooking School. Bangkok also hosts smaller centers like the Thai Cultural Center and Wat Mahathat Meditation Institute, offering structured courses approved by the Ministry of Education (MOE).

Ayutthaya & Sukhothai – These UNESCO heritage cities provide living classrooms of Thai civilization. Students can join history and temple art programs at the Ayutthaya Historical Research Center or take archaeology and restoration studies at the Ramkhamhaeng National Museum in Sukhothai. Surrounded by sacred temples and centuries-old ruins, learners gain a genuine connection to Thailand’s cultural roots.
