visa and immigration visa and immigration Upon receipt of the Letter of Acceptance from Rangsit University, you can present this to the nearest Thai Consulate or Embassy in your country of origin that will provide you with a Non-Immigrant ED (Education) Visa before flying to Thailand. The Non-Immigrant ED (Education) Visa allows you to stay in Thailand for a maximum of 90 days (although some Thai Consulates or Embassies may give you a visa for less than 90 days). Upon arrival in Thailand, you must immediately contact Rangsit University’s International Student Service Center (ISS) to assist you in extending this visa to one year. Since you have not studied yet, a verification letter must be submitted to the Immigration Office to certify that you are indeed a student of Rangsit University. At least one month before your visa of one year expires, you are required to report to the International Student Service Center (ISS) again to fill-out some forms and take with you your unofficial grade reports from previous semesters (provided to you by the Registrar’s Office). The ISS will assist you to extend your Non-Immigrant ED (Education) Visa for another year. You will need to renew your Non-Immigrant ED (Education) Visa every year until you finish your study. An Important Reminder: Students must always carry a copy of their passport while travelling in Thailand. 40
