With the receipt of the acceptance letter you can apply for a “Non-Immigrant ED Visa” (ED= Education) at the nearest Thai Embassy or Consulate in your country. If you plan to leave Thailand during your stay (e.g. to travel abroad), you should apply for a “Multiple-Entry Visa”. Please be advised to apply for the visa as soon as you receive the letter, because processing might take several weeks.
The “Non-Immigrant ED Visa” allows you to stay in Thailand for 90 days. The ISS will assist in extending this 90-day visa with a verification letter issued by Rangsit University. We advise you not to enter Thailand with a tourist visa, because it will only allow you to stay in the country for 30 days and you will have to leave Thailand in order to change your visa type to “ED”.
However, sometimes students are not able to obtain the Non-Immigrant ED Visa before their arrival (e.g. not enough time). In this case, the ISS will assist students in changing their visa status from “Tourist” to “Non-Immigrant ED”. Students who enter Thailand with a tourist visa must contact the ISS immediately after their arrival in Thailand, in order to change the status to Non-Immigrant ED before the visa expires.
