We service over 1,200 international students per year — from acceptance letters, Ministry of Education certification, Immigration filings, to yearly extensions and 90-day reports, all under one roof.
Non-ED student visas start at THB 6,500 (service) + THB 2,000 (single-entry) or THB 5,000 (multiple, 1-year) government fees, processed in 5-10 business days. You must hold an acceptance letter from a Ministry of Education–licensed institution. Extensions are granted year by year.
ED-Thai Language (200-360 hours/year), ED-International K-12, ED-University BA/MA/PhD, ED-Vocational (Voc. Cert / Higher Voc. Diploma), ED-Muay Thai / Cooking / Traditional Dance at licensed art schools, plus ED-Guardian for parents of students under 15.
Since 2019 Immigration enforces a minimum 80% attendance per term and two level progressions per year (e.g. A1→A2, A2→B1). Failing either triggers refusal to extend and a possible 1-year blacklist. NYC's e-check-in and weekly booster classes keep students in compliance.
THB 20,000 in the applicant's own account (or THB 40,000 for a family) held for 3 months, or a Sponsor Letter plus the sponsor's passbook copy. NYC prepares the bilingual bank confirmation letter accepted by Immigration officers.
To switch schools mid-year you need a Termination Letter, a new Acceptance Letter, and a Change of Institution filing at Immigration within 15 days — otherwise the visa lapses. NYC processes transfers for THB 3,500.
In 2023-2025 Immigration shut over 40 language schools issuing fraudulent Non-ED letters; students were retroactively cancelled and blacklisted for 5 years. Verify each school at ops.moe.go.th, or let NYC recommend an MOE-approved institution only.
The institution must hold a Ministry of Education (or MHESI) licence. NYC maintains a shortlist of 80 language, K-12 and university partners with tuition discounts.
The school issues a Letter of Acceptance plus a copy of its operating licence stamped by the Ministry of Education for new Non-ED applications.
Overseas applicants file single-entry (THB 2,000) at a Thai Embassy. If already in Thailand on TR, we file Change of Type at Chaeng Wattana Immigration for THB 2,000.
Filed 30 days before expiry with a progress letter, ≥80% attendance record and full grading transcript.
Report every 90 days via Section38 app or delegate to NYC at THB 800/report. Re-Entry Permits: THB 1,000 (single) or THB 3,800 (multiple).
No. Any paid work on a Non-Immigrant ED visa is prohibited and carries a fine of around THB 20,000 plus the risk of blacklisting and cancellation of the visa. If you receive a job offer, convert to a Non-B and obtain a work permit before your first working day.
Under 18 applicants can have a parent on Non-O (Guardian) matching the child's duration — birth certificate and relationship proof required.
No. Immigration expects genuine physical attendance of at least four hours a week and schools must keep signed attendance sheets available for inspection. Fully online study is only tolerated during officially declared lockdowns, and extension officers still ask for the school's attendance record.
You can retake the progression test within thirty days. A second failure gives Immigration grounds to refuse the next extension because it suggests the study is not genuine, so we provide free tutoring to enrolled students and prepare a school letter explaining any legitimate reason for the delay.
Degree tracks at bachelor, master or doctoral level can be extended for as long as the programme runs. Language study is different: Immigration typically caps ED-Language at about three years in total, after which you must change curriculum, change institution or move to another visa category.
