Education changes lives. Access changes everything.
The ED Plus visa for university students in Thailand. Guided, accurate, and now completely free.
WHO THIS IS FOR
International students in Thai universities
International students arriving in Thailand face tuition, flights, housing, and the daily weight of building a life somewhere new. The visa process should not be one more thing that costs them.
We built Issa Compass to make Thai visas transparent, guided, and accurate. For the ED Plus — the education visa for university students — we've removed our fees entirely. This is how we think the world should work.

FROM THE FOUNDER
Priscilla Yeung
CEO & Co-founder, Issa Compass
My parents were schoolteachers in Hong Kong. They gave everything they had to their students and asked for nothing back. I carried that with me to Princeton University in the United States — through a visa process that nearly stopped me before I got there.
I made it. A lot of students don't. Not because they aren't brilliant or deserving. Because the system was never built for them. The international student visa is a financial filter dressed up as paperwork.
That is a choice. We made a different one.
Issa Compass is a software-accelerated visa platform. You do your own application through a guided workflow. A real-time decision engine checks it before you submit. Specialists are available when you need them. It's accurate, transparent, and entirely yours.
For international students in Thailand, we fully waive the ED Plus visa service costs. Free. Forever. No catches.
Because education is a right. And we refuse to let paperwork be the thing that proves otherwise.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Education opens every door that follows.
The student visa should not close this one.
Education is the foundation for a better society.
My parents believed learning was the most important thing one person could give another. That belief is why Issa Compass exists. A student who comes to Thailand brings curiosity, perspective, and ambition shaped by somewhere else entirely.
The visa process was built for agents, not for students.
Thai requirements are real-time, often unpublished, and change without notice. Most providers charge to navigate that. We removed the charge. Because the students who push through anyway are exactly the ones Thailand should want here.
Access to education is a moral responsibility.
This is for every international student at a Thai university. This is our next generation of leaders. They will learn from Thailand, join and build the Thai companies of tomorrow, and carry a part of our country with them for the rest of their lives.
