TSL Chiang Mai is a private language school licensed by Thailand’s Ministry of Education (MOE). We offer structured Thai and English courses for genuine long-term study and prepare the school and education-authority documents required for eligible students to apply for a Non-Immigrant Education Visa (ED Visa).
Visa issuance and extensions are not automatic. Final approval rests with the relevant Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate, the Ministry of Education, and Thai Immigration authorities.
At TSL Chiang Mai, learning goes beyond the classroom. The TSL Method combines a clear, step-by-step curriculum with practical communication, cultural understanding, and a warm, supportive school community.
Learn Thai for Real Life. Live Thailand for Real.
For Thai-language students, the TSL Method is built around three pillars:
We welcome enquiries from students of all nationalities and age groups. However, school enrollment and ED Visa eligibility are assessed individually and may depend on the applicant’s nationality, age, immigration history, previous visas, current location, and the requirements of the relevant authorities.
Some applicants may be asked to provide additional documents, such as a criminal background certificate, financial evidence, proof of current residence, or other supporting information. Our team will guide eligible applicants through the required documentation.
