Thailand Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Maybe a miscommunication but told today that Chinese who rent from Chinese "owners" cannot get an education visa as the lessor has to be Thai on the application? I guess that would apply to renting from anyone who is not Thai? Anyway, does that make sense to anyone who is aware of any changes?

elviajero Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 There has been no official announcement along those lines. If they are applying for permit to stay based on attending a language school or similar (not formal education), I could see why immigration might say no as it could be assumed the applicant is only applying as a means to stay with family/friends.

Thailand Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks. The information was from two Chinese ladies with young kids in formal education in ChiangMai. I had also not heard/seen anything related for Chinese or otherwise so just trying to see if there is anything out there as they were convinced but could not as yet provide any reference.

Then that is very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Ho hum - just make up the rules as you go along.... Maybe the immigration officer was cuckolded by a Chinese person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspill Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) I didn't have to show anyone my rental lease until the first extension, at that point I already had the ed visa for 3 months. Wasn't needed for the initial application. On the extension date they also wanted to see the landlord's Thai ID card along with the lease, so yeah maybe they don't allow it if it's a Chinese lessor I'd type up a fake a contract and have a Thai friend sign it and photocopy their ID card, that'd probably work, how would immigration ever know Edited June 11, 2019 by jspill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
