If you arrive at the airport or any border without a visa you will be granted a 30 day tourist visa. This type of visa can be renewed simply by leaving and re-entering the country. You can do this for 90 days (3 consecutive visa runs). If you wish to extend your stay you will have to leave the country and make a request for a 60-day tourist visa at a Thai Consulate. The nearest Thai embassy to Krabi is Penang in Malaysia.

However, the best thing to do is go to your nearest Thai Embassy or Consulate and request a 60-day tourist visa. On the application form state the approximate time you plan on arriving in Thailand and that the purpose of the visit is for tourism. This type of visa is normally given automatically and quickly.

We can also assist you in obtaining a non-immigrant visa. Simply ask us for a supporting letter stating that you are enrolled on an educational course. You then submit the letter with your application to the Thai consulate in the country in which you are applpying.

If you decide to work in Thailand after completing the TEFL course, your sponsoring school will assist you in obtaining a work permit.
