Visa and Immigration

International Relations

It is the responsibility of students to make sure that they understand and meet the immigration regulations. Visa application should be done before making arrangements to travel to Thailand.

For coming to Thailand to study for one or two semesters, students will be granted a Non-Immigrant Visa 'ED' by a Royal Thai Embassy in your country.

In general, visa application must be made in person. However, in some countries, Royal Thai Embassies and Royal Thai Consulate-General may also accept application submitted through representatives, authorized travel agencies or by post.

To apply for this type of visa, students must submit the following documents to the Visa Section at a Royal Thai Embassy:
  1. A completed visa application form
  2. Passport with validity not less than six months
  3. 4 x 6 cm sized photograph of the students, taken within the past six months
  4. Evidence of adequate finance
  5. Letter of Acceptance from CMMU
  6. Official Certification Letter notifying the purpose of travel
  7. An application fee approximately USD65 or 50 Euro

There are two categories of visa granted by a Royal Thai Embassy or Royal Thai Consulate-General for entry to the Kingdom of Thailand: three months for a single entry and 1 year for multiple entries. These are priced differently; the longer stay is the more expensive. No matter types of visa, students will be required further extension after 90 days of your arrival in Thailand.

Visa Extension

Students must extend the visa no later than 3 months after your arrival. The visa should be extended at least 15 days in advance. If you ignore the extension, you will pay 500 Baht per day. To extend the visa, you need an official letter for visa extension from CMMU, so please contact the International Relations Office for further arrangements.
