Khao Lak Muay Thai ED Visa Program

Want to train Muay Thai in Thailand on a proper Education visa? Khao Lak Muay Thai can support a genuine 3-month Muay Thai course for a Non-Immigrant ED visa.

This is a Muay Thai course only. We are not linked to a language school, and we do not offer Thai language classes as part of the visa. The course is 3 months. We cannot enrol you for longer, and although we can re-apply on your behalf to renew the visa - this is very simple after your initial attendance.

The paperwork is the same path we already use for the Destination Thailand Visa. You book the course, we prepare the gym file, and you apply online from outside Thailand.

If you want to stay longer than 3 months, use our DTV visa page instead.

Why this ED course?

• A real 3-month course. You enrol to train Muay Thai at Khao Lak Muay Thai for 3 months. The visa stay matches that course. It is not a 1-year programme.
• Same application as our DTV. You apply on the official Thai e-Visa site, from the country where you are a citizen or permanent resident. We issue the enrolment letter and request the supporting letter from the Office of the Boxing Sport Board, Sports Authority of Thailand.
• Train, then decide. Three months is enough to train properly and see if a longer stay suits you. A longer stay is a separate application, not an extension of this course.

We guide you through the paperwork. The embassy decides the visa. Immigration decides the stamp. We cannot guarantee either.

How much does the ED Visa cost

Note: Remaining balance is due before training begins. All prices include 7% VAT. A 50% deposit is required to secure your spot and start processing your official ED visa enrollment letter.

Please note:

• And does not include accommodation
• This does not include the 1900 (* as of October 2026) Immigration visa fee

Things to know

• The course is 3 months of Muay Thai training at Khao Lak Muay Thai. No language school, and no language classes.
• The Non-Immigrant ED for this course is single entry. The visa is valid for 3 months from issue, which is the window you have to enter Thailand. On arrival the stay is up to 90 days, in line with the course.
• We do not offer a longer ED course, so we cannot support a stay beyond these 3 months WITHOUT re-applying for a new course/visa. Many students opt for this and its very simple after the initial course
• Apply from outside Thailand only, through thaievisa.go.th, in a country where you are a citizen or permanent resident.
• You need a police clearance from your country of nationality or the country where you apply.
• You also need proof of funds covering the course and living costs. Embassies usually want recent bank statements. This is not the 500,000 THB rule used for the DTV.
• An ED visa does not allow you to work in Thailand.
• We can help you find accommodation near the gym.

Documents we provide

Khao Lak Muay Thai (Khao Lak Muay Thai Co., Ltd.) is certified by the Office of the Boxing Sport Board, Sports Authority of Thailand, as a 5-star, medium-sized professional Muay Thai camp. The current camp certificate was issued on 31 January 2024.

When you book the 3-month ED course we prepare the same gym file we prepare for the DTV route, and we request the Boxing Sport Board letter that goes to the Department of Consular Affairs and the embassy handling your e-Visa.

What the gym issues: enrolment letter for 3 months, invitation letter signed by the Managing Director, course application form, tax invoice (tax ID 0825565000907), camp certificate, and camp-head registration.

What we request from the Board: the SAT Phang Nga cover letter, and the Board letter asking the embassy in your country of nationality or permanent residence to consider a Non-Immigrant ED for those 3-month dates. Timing depends on the Board.

What you upload

Passport biodata page, photo from the last six months, proof you are a citizen or permanent resident of the country where you apply, bank statements covering the course and living costs, police clearance, our enrolment letter, and the Board letter once issued. Confirm the checklist of the mission that will decide the file.

Frequently asked questions

1. What is the ED visa course at Khao Lak Muay Thai?

A genuine 3-month Muay Thai course used to support a Non-Immigrant ED visa application. You train at our gym. There is no language school and no Thai language class attached to it.

2. How long can I stay?

The course is 3 months. The ED visa for this route is single entry, valid for 3 months from the date it is issued, which is your window to enter Thailand. On arrival the stay is up to 90 days, in line with the course. We do not enrol anyone for longer, but we can re-apply at the end of the course for a further 3 months

3. Is this the same as the DTV?

No. The visa is different. The application path is the same. You book with us, we issue the enrolment file, we request the letter from the Office of the Boxing Sport Board, and you apply on thaievisa.go.th from the country where you are a citizen or permanent resident. The DTV is the long-stay visa: 180 days per entry, extendable once, on a 5-year multi-entry visa. This ED course is 3 months only. If you want six or nine months, use the DTV page.

4. Do I need a language school?

No. Older versions of this page mentioned a language school. That link no longer exists. The course is Muay Thai only.

5. How do I apply?

Book the 3-month course and pay the deposit. We prepare the gym file and request the Boxing Sport Board letter. You order your police clearance, then apply online at thaievisa.go.th from outside Thailand, selecting the embassy or consulate for your country of nationality or permanent residence. Wait for the decision outside Thailand, then enter and start the course.

6. Can I apply from inside Thailand, or from Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam?

No. Same rule as our DTV applications. You must apply from a country where you are a citizen or permanent resident. A tourist stamp, a visa-exempt entry, or a trip to a neighbouring country is not enough. From 15 September 2026 a visa-exempt entry is only 30 days, which is also too short for an in-country change of visa type.

7. What documents do I need?

Passport biodata page, a photo taken within the last six months, proof you live in the country where you apply, bank statements covering the course and living costs, a police clearance, our enrolment letter, and the Boxing Sport Board letter once it is issued. Always check the checklist of the embassy that will review your file.

8. What kind of police certificate do I need?

A certificate of criminal record from your country of nationality, or from the country where you apply. Some missions want it issued within 3 months, others within 6. If it is not in English or Thai, get a certified translation. We cannot issue this document.

9. Do I need 500,000 baht in the bank?

No. That figure is the DTV rule. For this ED course, embassies ask for financial evidence covering the course fees and living costs, usually recent bank statements or a sponsorship letter. The exact amount is set by the embassy, not by us.

10. Can I work on this visa?

No. An ED visa does not allow local employment. Remote work for an overseas client is a DTV question, not an ED one. If working online matters to you, look at the DTV instead.

11. Can I extend, or switch to a DTV later?

After 2 months we can re-apply for the same visa again using the same process. However this is very simple and as of October 2026, once approved, you just need to do a land-border run to activate the new visa

12. What if the embassy refuses the visa?

The embassy decides. We prepare the gym file and the Board request, but we cannot guarantee approval. The deposit is used to start that file, same as a DTV booking, so ask us about the refund position before you pay.

13. Can I train once a day or twice a day?

Tell us which you want when you book. The enrolment letter states the course dates and that you are registered to train here for 3 months. Group classes can be discussed against private lessons once you are training, the same way we handle it on DTV packages.

14. Do you help with accommodation?

Yes. We can point you to places near the gym. Accommodation is not included unless you book a train-and-stay package.
