In fact, it was October 2020 when we started planning to go out. The whole process was not recorded much at that time. One of the reasons was actually because of the epidemic, which caused great changes in the process. If it was before the epidemic, in fact, many times, it would become simpler. . Here are the memories.
In fact, when studying abroad, there are many public accounts and videos out there that will tell you about it, through intermediaries, and many processes, someone will guide you, but if you experience it yourself, you can actually be your own intermediary. Assuming we do not find an intermediary, we are roughly a process.
It should be noted that the accompanying study visa in Thailand can only be obtained by one parent, if it is a child.
Choose a school
When you choose Chiang Mai, then choosing a school is actually relatively simple. I choose a school with the American system for my children. As I introduced in the last article, there are actually only 3 schools in Chiang Mai that are American schools. Unity is Schools with no thresholds, as parents, definitely want their children to go to the so-called good schools, but for this, it is not recommended to struggle, changing schools in Chiang Mai, if you pass the entrance exam, you only pay 10,000 yuan for the school selection fee. Freedom to change schools.
At that time, I didn’t hesitate too much, because the agent said that his child was actually studying in Unity, so I didn’t hesitate too much and chose Unity directly. Other American schools have entrance exams and thresholds. In fact, if your child has taken the PET exam in China, it is difficult to pass. You need to go to Chiang Mai to familiarize yourself with speaking and writing.
So for the choice of American schools, Unity is the best choice. You can choose to study here for a year and then consider changing schools.
Unity’s facilities are very good. The teachers my child met in school were actually very good. He participated in the Speech course, and he can already write articles, research and debate by himself. The progress is amazing.
Apply to school
In almost all international schools, you can find the application page and contact email address through the official website of the school, but parents are more concerned about their English strength, including us. In fact, there is no need to worry, just send an email in Chinese and explain the child’s situation clearly. International schools in Chiang Mai basically have dedicated Chinese teachers who are responsible for recruiting students, so don’t worry about this.
The process is actually very simple. Wechat pulls the group, and the teacher chats with the child. Normally, children will be hit a bit, unless you often take vipkid courses, this is not the point. After the chat, give a list of tuition fees
- one year tuition
- School uniform, etc.
- Visa, school selection fee
- An additional 100 sessions of one-on-one English improvement training (RMB 10,000)
It needs to be emphasized that you can do without 100 sessions of one-on-one training. After school, you can decide for yourself.
The annual tuition fee for a child is about 50,000 yuan. I remember that I probably paid less than 90,000 RMB at one time. It is a bit of a toss when paying, Alipay pays directly, there are restrictions. These are small cases, and there are many ways to solve them. It is not recommended to pay with ICBC, it is too cumbersome. It is possible to apply for support through Alipay, or ask a friend to pay for it first.
get an offer
In about 2 weeks, you will receive your admission offer from the school. A package is full of documents, you need to know what is included in it.
English version and Thai version.
Prepare visa application materials
In fact, the trouble is to prepare the materials
Notarization of materials, this link is relatively cumbersome. It’s also more prone to error. Do it yourself, just be careful.
- Notarization of parent-child relationship
- Notarized driver’s license
- Notarized birth certificate
- child passport
- Photos, children and guardians
- The guardian’s passport is the child’s mother’s passport
In Beijing, you can submit materials online and have them notarized online, which is more efficient. You can go to the site in about 2 weeks and get the notarized materials.
Embassy Visa
The official website of Thailand, registration is a little pit. You basically need to register two accounts, a child and a guardian, submit relevant materials, pay, and submit materials at an appointment time.
The exciting time is to go to the Thai embassy on time and submit the materials, including the materials and visas sent by the school to you.
The waiting time was still relatively long at that time, more than 1 month. It is said that in Shanghai, the intermediary can help to submit materials for a week and get it done.
The process of submitting materials is a physical and sometimes technical work. Photos are compressed, no more than 1 megabyte in size, etc. Fortunately, there is a printer and scanner all-in-one machine at home, and the whole process is successfully completed.
In this way, the accompany visa and study visa will be done.
Air tickets
Thailand should be by the end of June 2022, and you should be able to get a visa directly, then you can buy a ticket and go out. At that time in 2021, nucleic acid test reports, isolation 14 and other expenses were required.
