RESIDENCE FEES

PAYMENT DETAILS

Payment deadlines for Residence fees (issued per semester) will generally follow the timeline designated by the RIS Finance Office regarding school tuition fees. Residence fees for current students are due and payable before the beginning of each semester. Residence invoices will be sent via email only, separately from school tuition invoices.

Residence fees for the first semester (starting in August) are traditionally due and payable at the beginning of June. Residence fees for the second semester (starting in January) are usually due and payable at the beginning of November.

PAYMENT METHOD OPTIONS

Direct cash deposit at any branch of Bangkok Bank or Kasikorn Bank with a bank deposit slip provided by RIS (enclosed with the invoice)
Direct money transfer to the RIS Bangkok Bank account through any mobile bank app using the barcode that appears on each invoice sent to parents
Check, preferably a Cashier’s Check, payable to “Ruamrudee International School” (purchased at banks in Bangkok and the Greater Bangkok Area) (Note: Personal checks are not accepted.)
Visa or Mastercard (Please note that these cards may incur an additional charge of up to 2.2%, depending on the issuing bank or organization)
Citibank or UOB (bank charge 0% – terms and conditions may apply)
American Express Card (bank charge 1.7%)

Receipt of payments will be issued, specifying the description of the fees and the actual amount paid only.

LATE PAYMENT PENALTY

A late payment charge of ฿500 per day will be imposed on late payments for Residence fees. If payments are not made by the due date, RIS reserves the right to proceed as follows:

take legal action to collect outstanding fees
discontinue enrollment for the following academic year
withhold all school documents (including disabling access to PowerSchool)
suspend students from testing and withhold all previous scores

FEES POLICY

LATE ENROLLMENT

Returning boarders who intend to be at the Residence after the start of the semester (August and January, respectively) are required to give notice to the Residence Coordinator one month before the start date of the semester. After the start of the semester, if a boarder does not appear/return, they automatically forfeit their border status at Seelos without a refund.

WITHDRAWAL

All boarders who have paid all Residence fees will receive a full refund for all residence fees if withdrawal is indicated 30 days before the start of the semester.

If a student withdraws within a semester, the fees for the rest of that semester will be forfeited to cover the cost of predetermined staffing needs.

REFUND RATES

If parents decide to withdraw a student from the Residence, they will forfeit a portion of the fees to cover the cost of predetermined staffing needs. If a student withdraws within the first semester, the fees for the rest of that semester will be forfeited. If the fees for the full year have been paid, the second-semester fees will be refunded. If a student withdraws in the second semester, the fees for the rest of the year will be forfeited. Any such refunds do not include temporary withdrawals.

In the case of unprecedented school closures in which boarders are unable to continue staying at the Residence, weekly and full-time boarders are entitled to refunds of 1,100 baht per day (refund rate for weekly stays) or 1,200 baht per day (refund rate for weekend/holiday stay).
