Student Visa for New & Returning Students
Student Visa for New & Returning Students
When a student enters Thailand with a Non-Immigrant Education Visa, or the Non-ED Visa, issued by a Thai Embassy outside Thailand, you will be granted 90 days duration of stay, and NOT 1 year. Approximately 60 days after your arrival in Thailand, or 30 days before your student visa expires, you are required to submit your original passport to the Webster University Thailand (WUT) Visa Officer. The Visa Officer will first check whether you have fulfilled the full-time student criteria as follows:
- Must register for at least 12 credits in a semester for Undergraduate students and at least 9 credits in a semester for Graduate students.
- Must have registered every semester (Summer term is optional).
- Must not be on any Academic/Admissions/Financial/Disciplinary hold.
If you have fulfilled all of the above criteria, our staff will prepare the necessary documents and inform you about the document you need to prepare as well (Housing documents, photograph, etc). Our staff will also accompany you to the Thai Immigration Office to extend your student visa which is extended for 6 months for the first extension. Please note that some students may be given a shorter visa extension than one year at the second extension period depending on each individual student’s registration history, passport validity, etc.
If at any time after the student visa extension, you no longer meet the above criteria for any reason, WUT will notify the Thai Immigration Office that you no longer meet the requirements for the student visa, which will result in an immediate cancellation of your student visa sponsored by WUT.
