Basic information about Visa at KMUTNB for International Student

Thailand Education Visa for Studying (Non-Immigrant ED)

    – In case of student is in their own country

Contact the nearest Thai embassy or consulate and request to apply for a non-immigrant visa code “ED” (Education visa). The KMUTNB acceptance letter (English letter) should be shown for the purpose of coming to Thailand. Please note that student must enter to Thailand with an ED visa; DO NOT apply for a tourist visa.

    – In case of student is in Thailand with another kind of visa (such as visa on arrival, tourist visa)

The student must apply for a visa status alteration (Application fee of 2,000 THB) to change for an ED visa. In order to process a status alteration, the current visa should be at least 15 days valid. Then, apply the visa status alteration form TM.86 along with an acceptance letter (English letter) and the KMUTNB letter of visa application (Thai letter issued by KMUTNB).

Otherwise the student must leave Thailand to process the ED visa application in any Thai embassy or consulate. The procedure will take about a few business days up to one week. Once ED visa is issued, the student can return to Thailand to begin school his/her study.
