A Warm Welcome to Your Sports Training Visa with SiamConsult

We guide you step by step through the correct pathway for your sports study in Thailand — whether that is Muay Thai under the Education (Non-Immigrant ED) Visa with an MOE-licensed academy, or diving, golf, yoga, and other sports via the Tourist (TR) – Recreation Learning or the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV). At SiamConsult, you receive clear instructions, bilingual checklists, and personalized follow-up to ensure every stage runs smoothly and remains compliant.

Since 2009, we have supported international students and athletes across Krabi, Phuket, Ao Nang, Koh Lanta, Phi Phi, and Phang Nga with enrollment letters, school verifications, and Immigration submissions in line with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Thai Immigration Bureau.

For Muay Thai at an MOE-licensed school, the ED Visa lets you study and train legally in Thailand. For other disciplines (e.g., scuba diving, golf, yoga, fitness), we structure your application under the appropriate category — typically TR (Recreation Learning) for short courses or DTV for longer activity-based stays.

SiamConsult coordinates with your training provider, confirms authorization, assembles documents, manages timelines, and handles extensions — so you can focus on your training, competitions, and personal growth while remaining fully compliant with Thai regulations.

IMPORTANT: These visas are strictly for study/training. Employment or income in Thailand is not permitted under these categories.

From us to you — with professionalism, care, and encouragement — welcome to your sports and education journey in Thailand. Thank you for your trust in SiamConsult.

The Education (Non-Immigrant ED) Visa is a reliable pathway for Muay Thai when you enroll with a Ministry of Education (MOE)–licensed academy.
Other sports—such as diving, golf, yoga, football, and general fitness—are typically handled under the Tourist (TR) – Recreation Learning visa or the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), unless the provider is truly MOE-licensed with a formal curriculum.

What qualifies for an ED (Sports) Visa

  • Muay Thai at an MOE-licensed school or academy.
  • Initial stay is commonly 90 days, extendable up to 1 year with valid enrollment, attendance, and documentation.

ED-friendly Muay Thai examples (subject to current licensing verification):

  • Krabi Muay Thai Academy — Krabi Town
  • Lanta Muay Thai Complex — Koh Lanta
  • Tiger Muay Thai & Fitness — Phuket
  • Sinbi Muay Thai — Rawai, Phuket

When ED is not the right fit — practical alternatives

For diving, golf, yoga, fitness, and most football programs:

  • TR (Recreation Learning) — best for short, structured courses and training camps.
  • DTV — best for longer, activity-based stays (no employment), with multi-entry flexibility.

Local examples that suit TR/DTV (not ED in most cases):

  • Andaman Dive School — Ao Nang (scuba training)
  • Phang Nga Golf Training Center — Phang Nga (golf coaching)

How SiamConsult delivers a smooth process

  • Provider screening: We confirm MOE licensing for ED, or suitability for TR/DTV.
  • Document readiness: Enrollment confirmations, school letters, licenses, and Immigration forms prepared to specification.
  • Application & extensions: End-to-end coordination with clear timelines across Krabi, Ao Nang, Phuket, Koh Lanta, Phi Phi, and Phang-Nga.

Important: All education-related visas are strictly for study/training. Employment or income in Thailand is not permitted under these categories.
