The Basics of the Thai Education Visa

Apart from being a major tourist hub in South East Asia, Thailand is also fast becoming the preferred choice for higher education among foreign students, as well as an enjoyable destination to learn a unique culture and language. If you are interested to study in Thailand, you will need to apply for a Student Visa to enable your stay throughout the whole duration of your degree. As much as possible, it is best to apply for this visa prior to your arrival in Thailand.
APPLYING FOR YOUR PROGRAM
There are several highly-esteemed universities in Thailand offering a wide range of advanced programs in business, the arts, and science. Procedures for application vary per school, as some may require submission of your previous education records and other related documents via email, while some may require a personal submission. Application fees also vary and personal appearances are required for registration. 
Once your application is accepted, you will receive an official acceptance letter from the university with the school letterhead, confirming that you are accepted to the program and indicating the date that you will begin your study. This is the primary legal requirement to applying for the Thai Education Visa.
GETTING THE EDUCATION VISA
In applying for your Education Visa, you will need to submit your acceptance letter along with your passport and passport-sized photographs to the Royal Thai Consulate or Embassy nearest you. If you are already in Thailand with a 60-day Tourist Visa, you can change into an Education Visa without leaving the country during the first 30 days of your visa. 
You need to study for at least one semester to get the Thai Education Visa, which is valid for one year. When you get this visa for the first time, it is only valid for 90 days. This gives you ample time to register and pay for your school fees. You will need to submit a copy of your registration details to obtain the full one-year validity of the Education Visa. You will also need to notify the Immigration Bureau of your current address every 90 days to avoid the risk of losing your visa.

Technology in Sports

It today's world, sport cannot go together without technology. With the ever growing development of new technologies, they have always tried to be implemented into sports. Because technology can give sports something nothing else can, an unmistakable truth. Or so they say. Due to the fact that people are, well, people, they are bound to make mistakes. It is because we are human, we are not robots, that we can make mistakes, while robots make them only if they are malfunctioning. This is especially emphasized in sports, where human eyes can often deceive their owners, the referees most importantly, but also players, coaches and the fans. That is why these days there are many discussions about installing video technology into sports, mostly football. What does technology actually mean for sports? Here I would like to emphasize that there are already sports using technology, like tennis and cricket, to name some. It helped the referees a lot, to minimize and correct some mistakes ...

Choosing an Educational Path for Children With Cerebral Palsy

How a child receives his education is one of the most important choices a parent faces. For the parent of a child with cerebral palsy, the choices are no less important and can be very difficult. Like all parents, you want to place your child in an educational environment that will allow him to thrive and reach his or her greatest potential. Every child with cerebral palsy has different needs and abilities and deciding whether to place them in a special education environment, with specially trained instructors or a mainstream education program, where they might find more opportunities to learn how to function in mainstream culture. Either choice has its advantages and disadvantages. MAINSTREAM Mainstream doesn't automatically mean "public school." Private schools also offer mainstream education and environment. If a child's cerebral palsy is deemed "mild," he or she will probably benefit from a mainstream environment. It can provide them with certain...

Government's Hold on Higher Education - How Rational and/or Irrational?

The area of higher education is remarkably vast, having a variety of constituents, less or more contributive in nature. Also, like every other part of the social structure, good and bad lie in equilibrium there. Since corruption has radically made it to every sector of our society, there remain all the chances for a sensitive area like education to get affected, no exception. College managements (private ones, especially) are too big bodies to get stormed away in the fury of corruption. In fact, they need to move with the flow and become a part of corruption in one way or the other. Every now and then, however, the delicate air of the area of higher education can be seen turning out to be insecure for students. Pity! There is nothing complex in understanding that the weaker unit is always dominated in every social relationship, which students here in this case are. If anything adverse has to happen because of whatever irrational corruption carries along, that will happen to stude...
