Education Visa (ED)
ED visa is for full-time study at MOE-approved schools. Phuket has many ED-eligible institutions: Prince of Songkla University (PSU), international schools, Muay Thai gyms, Thai language schools (Patong, Chalong), dive schools (Chalong, Rawai), yoga schools.
Validity: 90 days (single entry), extendable 90 days at a time up to 1 year. Some universities offer 1-year multiple-entry ED.

We verify the school's MOE accreditation BEFORE you enrol — some Phuket schools have lost ED authorization and we save clients from wasted tuition.
