Visa and Immigration

International students coming to study in Thailand require a non-immigrant education visa,
Non- Immigrant ED. On your arrival at Suvarnabhumi Airport or any ports in Thailand, the students
holding no matter of single or multiple entries will be granted a 90-day visa for entry to Thailand. As
full-time students, international students need to have a one-year permit to stay in the country. As a
result, you must extend your visa 30 days before it expires. Then, you will be granted to stay in the
country for one year and extend the visa year by year. However, during that year, students are
required to do the Notification of Residence to the Immigration Bureau every 90 days via the
online service on its website Students must do this at least 15 days before the due date or 3 days after
the due date.

Single Entry Visa Multiple Entry Visa

For single entry holders, before leaving the country, students must request the Immigration Bureau for
a Re-Entry Permit to keep the visa and stay permit valid.

For students who like travelling abroad, they are recommended to request for
“Multiple Entries” because students can go out and come back to Thailand several times as long as their
visa is valid without a “Re-Entry Permit” request.

Change of Visa Type

Students who have come to Thailand with a “Tourist Visa”, which allows students to stay in the Kingdom

for 60 days, are required to change the type of the visa to a ‘Non-Immigrant ED’ at least 15 days before
the visa expires. However, students are recommended to change the visa at your earliest convenience.

Departure Card (TM. 6)

Students must keep this card with their
own passport all the time. It is needed
for all transactions about the visa. If the
card is lost, students have to contact
a police station to get a notification
letter for the new one.

- If students fail to do a visa extension, you will be fined 500 Baht per day from
the expiry date

- If students fail to request a Re-Entry Permit before leaving
Thailand, your student visa will be canceled, and you will enter into
the country with a tourist visa. Then, students will need to change
the visa type.

- If students fail to change the visa type, you will be fined 500 Baht per
day from the expiry date.

- If students fail to do Notification of Residence, you will be fined 2,000 Baht.
