ACADEMIC SUPPORT
ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Students in the Residence program receive daily academic support in study hall and are provided with academic tutoring in a variety of subjects, such as Math, Science & English. While living on campus gives students more time for academics, it also allows them to become involved in various dynamic extracurricular activities at RIS.

VISAS & PASSPORTS
VISAS & PASSPORTS
Non-Thai families are responsible for securing the required visa in their home country before a student boarder travels to Thailand. Arriving students should have previously arranged for a Non-Ed Student visa for Thailand.
Once in Thailand, the RIS Human Resources department will support boarders with their visas, charging a fee of 7,700 baht to cover changing a Non-Ed Student visa into a more permanent visa for Thailand. Any remaining costs will be returned.
RIS Human Resources will try to arrange for students to go to the Immigration Office on a non-school day. (Sometimes, students must miss a day of classes to arrange their visas.) Residence staff will be in touch with the Office regarding such absences.
Residence staff will collect all students’ passports. The passports will be kept with Human Resources and available when students need them.
AIRPORT PICK-UP & DROP-OFF
If requested in advance (two week's notice is required), a Seelos Residence staff member will meet a student at a Bangkok airport on their arrival at the start of the school year or after a long holiday (of a week or more) and accompany the student back to the residence. This service is provided for students who do not travel with their parents. Transportation is provided between 12:00 - 21:00 on arrivals.

USE OF CAMPUS FACILITIES
Common areas of the Residence are the Living Room, Dining Hall, and Study Hall. Our Residence strives for these common areas to be welcoming, sociable places where everyone can engage in conversations and, at the very least, understand what’s happening.
