We are honored to assist families and students in obtaining their Education (ED) Visa for Private Schools in Thailand. Whether your child is joining an international program or a bilingual curriculum, SiamConsult ensures that every step — from school enrollment to visa approval — is smooth, transparent, and fully compliant with Thai law.
With more than 16 years of experience in Krabi, Phuket, Ao Nang, Koh Lanta, Phi Phi, and Phang Nga, we have guided hundreds of foreign families through the process of enrolling their children in licensed private schools and securing valid student visas issued by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Thai Immigration Bureau.
The ED Visa for Private Schools is designed for students under formal education programs recognized by the MOE, including kindergarten, primary, and secondary levels, as well as accredited international curricula (British, American, or IB systems). This visa allows a legal stay in Thailand for the duration of studies and can be renewed annually for continued education.
Our bilingual legal and visa specialists at SiamConsult coordinate directly with your chosen school to prepare the Enrollment Certificate, MOE Approval Letter, and Immigration Application Package. We review every document to ensure accuracy and eligibility — avoiding unnecessary delays or rejections.
Once your child’s enrollment and school documents are confirmed, you may apply for the visa at a Thai Embassy or Consulate abroad or, if already in Thailand, convert your status at the local Immigration Office when applicable. Our team will assist in both scenarios, including extensions, 90-day reporting, and renewals to maintain an uninterrupted legal stay throughout the study period.
We understand that relocating or studying in Thailand is a major step for any family. That is why SiamConsult focuses on making the process simple and worry-free. From our first consultation to visa issuance, you will receive clear instructions, bilingual checklists, and ongoing personal support — ensuring you feel confident and informed at every stage.
Important: The ED Visa is strictly for educational purposes. It does not permit employment or business activity in Thailand unless supported by a valid Work Permit under a different visa type. However, parents or guardians may apply for a Dependent Visa (Non-O) to stay in Thailand during their child’s studies legally.
At SiamConsult Account & Law Co., Ltd, we believe education builds not only futures but also bridges between cultures. Our mission is to ensure that your family’s experience in Thailand is lawful, comfortable, and guided by professionals who truly care.
The Private School ED Visa is designed for students enrolled in MOE-licensed private and international schools across Thailand — including Krabi, Ao Nang, Koh Lanta, Phuket, and Phang Nga.
This visa allows foreign students to live and study legally in Thailand for extended periods while pursuing complete academic programs at certified institutions. It is renewable yearly and suitable for children and teenagers attending bilingual, international, or national curriculum schools.
At SiamConsult, we coordinate directly with each school to confirm its Ministry of Education (MOE) accreditation, collect the necessary endorsement letters, and prepare bilingual documentation in line with both MOE and Immigration requirements. We manage every stage of your application — from school enrollment verification to submission at the Thai Embassy or Immigration Office — ensuring that the entire process is accurate, timely, and stress-free.
Some prominent private and international schools in this region include:
These schools represent the range of MOE-certified institutions eligible for the Private School ED Visa — offering internationally recognized curricula and full academic programs. Our bilingual team ensures that your chosen school’s documentation, admission letters, and financial evidence meet the exact Immigration and MOE requirements.
Once your enrollment is confirmed, you can apply for the visa at a Thai Embassy or Consulate, or convert from another visa type inside Thailand (where permitted). SiamConsult assists you throughout your journey — from the first application through yearly renewals, 90-day reporting, and visa maintenance.
Note: The ED Visa is strictly for educational purposes. Parents or guardians who wish to stay with their child may apply for a Dependent Non-O Visa, which can be processed concurrently with the student’s ED Visa.
To apply, you will need:
• A valid passport (at least six months remaining)
• An official acceptance or enrollment letter from a licensed school
• The school’s MOE registration documents
• Recent passport-sized photos
• Proof of tuition payment and financial support
• Evidence of accommodation in Thailand
• A completed visa application form
SiamConsult helps prepare, translate, and organize all documents in the correct bilingual format before submission.
