4.1 No Guarantee of Visa Approval

IMPORTANT: WE CANNOT AND DO NOT GUARANTEE VISA APPROVAL.

While we maintain a 99% approval rate over the past 12 months for complete applications with accurate information, visa decisions rest entirely with Thai embassies, consulates, and the Immigration Bureau. Approval depends on factors beyond our control, including:

General Immigration Climate:

We monitor policy changes closely but cannot predict future regulatory developments. Information provided reflects our best understanding as of the date above.

4.3 Nationality-Specific Considerations

While we accept applications from most nationalities, some countries face statistically higher rejection rates or enhanced scrutiny for long-term Thai visas. This is based on Thai government immigration data and bilateral relations, not our policies.

If you are from a country with known visa difficulties, we will inform you during the eligibility assessment and may recommend:

We cannot control nationality-based approval variations and make no guarantees regarding approval likelihood based on nationality.

4.4 No Attorney-Client Relationship

Nothing in these terms creates an attorney-client relationship. We are an educational institution with government licenses to provide training and issue official documentation.
