Visa
Choose your course
Thai immigration grants Education Visas to eligible students enrolled in approved in-person courses. Choose between Thai, English, Mandarin or Muay Thai boxing classes — on our 3–12 month packages, your chosen course is included as part of your education visa.
Learn to speak, read and order dinner in Thai with certified teachers, a few hours a week.
Build confident academic and everyday English with qualified teachers alongside your studies.
Add one of the world's most valuable languages to your CV while you finish your degree.
Train Thailand's national sport at a professional camp — fitness, discipline and a visa in one.
The Muay Thai visa route
Thailand offers an Education Visa route for approved Muay Thai training. If you prefer training to language study, ask us to match a licensed course to your programme and confirm its hours and eligibility.
Thai, Mandarin and approved Muay Thai courses offer Education Visa pathways. We confirm the course and price for your chosen programme.
We confirm the lesson allocation before booking. You must attend the approved course and comply with visa requirements.
Complete beginner to experienced fighter — the camp groups you by level.
Your visa course doubles as your training programme, alongside the on-site gym and yoga.
Eligibility
Thai immigration is strict about who it grants Education Visas to. These are the rules that decide whether an application can be filed at all — worth confirming before you commit to a semester.
You must not have held a Thai Education Visa before. If you have, the rules are different — tell us up front and we'll check what's possible.
Applicants need to be 18 to 48 years old when the application is filed. Your birthday on the passport must fall inside that window.
Your passport must have more than 10 months of validity left when you apply. Renew it first if it's anywhere near that line.
Thai immigration does not issue Education Visas to passport holders from the Middle East, Africa (including South Africa), Vietnam, South Asia or Latin America.
If the only passport you hold is from one of those regions, please don't book a package yet — email us at hello@voyo-global.com and we'll go through the options that are open to you.

Visa questions
Students studying in Thailand need an appropriate Education Visa. On our 3–12 month packages, visa support and your choice of Thai, English, Mandarin or Muay Thai boxing classes are included.
Very little. Once you're enrolled in your in-person course, we prepare the school documents, review your application before you submit it, and walk you through your extensions in Phuket.
Plan for four to six weeks between confirming your place and receiving your visa. Apply earlier in peak intake months.
Yes, between intakes. Your visa stays valid as long as you remain enrolled in an approved course and attend classes.
