About the Program
Thailand
is an amazing country, and in living here, you have a rare chance to
fully experience all that Thailand has to offer - immersing yourself
into a relaxed and enjoyable life.
Picture your life in
Thailand, maybe living on a quiet island beach or in the foothills of
the north… a life in which you are able to speak with the locals,
joking and laughing and understanding each other.
Perhaps you already have the life you love in Thailand, but need a way to be able to communicate more clearly and make life more convenient without having to leave the country every fifteen, thirty, or ninety days just to cross a border or reapply for a visa.
Learning
to speak Thai is the key to overcoming the cultural barrier and enriching
your daily experience in this lovely country. Your enjoyment of
Thailand and its exquisite culture can be taken to a higher level.
Getting a grasp on the language is easier than you may think, certainly fun, and… No Visa Runs!
Make the smart choice for a long-term stay in Thailand.
All of our schools are licensed by the Thai Ministry of Education and are therefore licensed to offer long-term Education visas.
As
a student of a language or cultural course at one of our affiliated schools across the
country, you will have the chance to learn a new language or cultural aspect of Thailand and gain an
insight into the mysteries and nuances of this rich culture.
The Education Visa option is your best option for several reasons:
You can remain in the country for an unlimited amount of time!
- Forget the pain & hassle of quarterly visa runs.
- Avoid the unnecessary expense and skip the exhausting van ride across the border simply to get your passport stamped.
- You can avoid the tension of the uncertainties of the Thai visa bureaucracy
Your
life here and relationship with the Thai people will be wonderfully
enhanced, as you become capable of understanding and communicating with
your Thai friends and acquaintances.
Compared to other visa
types, your total cost is less, the language lessons improve your
quality of life, and you can rest assured that once you have your visa,
you are guaranteed an hassle-free long-term stay in the “Land of
Smiles.”
The process is simple and painless and can be done in a short amount of time.
