Post new topic

i have sent numerous emails to find out if any Thai universities offer online classes. I want to get an education visa so that I can stay for several years.  I have a minor back injury that would make it hard for me to get to class everyday.  I would like to live in Thailand but take classes online so i can get a ED visa.  I dont want to have to do border runs every month. 

Are there any schools where i could just pay tuition, skip the classes for a year, fail, enroll again, and extend my ED visa?

What is the minimum amount of classes you need to take to get a one year ED visa?  ive heard its 4 classes, 12 credits, but ive also heard about people taking 4hour per week classes and getting a visa.

Any info is appreciated because Thailand looks awesome!

Cambodia or Laos might offer you better options. Check out the visa requirements for those countries.

Thais do have an Open University, that can be accessed online but I am fairly sure it is for Thai citizens.
