How to apply for a study visa in Thailand What are the steps to apply for a study visa in Thailand?

Freshmen who need to study in Thailand need to apply for visas, and students who are already studying need to renew their visas, and they all need to go through various formalities. So how do Thais apply for a study visa? Let's take a look at the process and materials of various visas in Thailand. Let's take a look at these contents.

I. Main types of visas in Thailand

1. Work visa: It is reported that generally, you need to find a job to apply for a work visa, and the work permit assisted by your company is valid. If you work in a company, you will change to another company with that company's work permit. This work permit is useless, and usually when you leave your job, the company will cancel your work permit, because you can't leave your job alone, and they will help you pay taxes, insurance and other expenses every month. After the work permit is cancelled, the work visa on your passport is still valid (unless you fall out with the company, they will cancel the visa at the immigration office and leave the country within 24 hours after the visa is cancelled). You can stay until your visa expires and then leave the country. If you don't want to leave the country, you can change it into a student visa through a travel agency.

Apply for a work visa, preferably a business visa in China. Some people apply for tourist visas and then change them into business visas in Thailand (if they can't do it themselves, they need to find a travel agency unless they are teachers in government schools and have the approval of the Ministry of Education). In this way, when they apply for a work permit, they will encounter problems, that is, the company information when the business visa is changed does not match the company information for the work permit. At this time, they need to find a relationship to do it, or they will go back to China to apply for a visa again.

3. Student visa: those who apply for a business visa to enter Thailand can change to a 1 year student visa, and the tourist visa needs to be changed to a business visa, whereas it used to be a work visa, and those who want to stay in Thailand after leaving the company can change to a student visa. Originally an international student, if you want to stay in Thailand after graduation, you can continue to apply for a student visa.

International students in Thailand want to stay and work in Thailand after graduation, but they face visa problems. Some graduation visas are about to expire, and some have a few months left. In this case, they can extend their visas for one year through the travel agency. If you find a job and want to apply for a work permit, there is no other way but to return to China first and then apply for a business visa.

6. Visa on arrival: If you enter Thailand in other countries or Hong Kong and Macao (there is no visa for Thailand in other parts of the country or a visa for a third country is not allowed to leave the country), you can apply for a visa on arrival at the airport or other border crossings and stay for 15 days. If you need a short stay, you can go to the immigration office for an extension of 7 days; If you want to stay longer, you need to apply for a special extension from a travel agency, and you can apply for 1-3 months. However, visas on arrival cannot be converted into other visas.

Second, Thailand study visa processing process

1. Apply for study abroad program in Thailand

The application process varies from institution to institution, and the application for studying at Boren University in Thailand can be handled directly through the domestic regional service center.

Required materials: registration form, notarized graduation certificate or letter, notarized graduation report card, passport, recommendation letter, etc.

It is important that the application for studying abroad will be fully confirmed only after Thai schools receive the relevant application fees and tuition fees.

2. Received the admission notice

Once your application for studying in Thailand is successfully accepted, Boren University in Thailand will send an admission notice. The admission notice will be printed with the logo of Boren University in Thailand, your name and passport number, the professional name of your choice, and finally the confirmation signature of the leader. It symbolizes that you have been admitted to this program, and invites you to start studying at Boren University in Thailand within the specified date.

The admission notice is not a ticket for admission, but also a ticket for applying for a student visa. Thailand's one-year study visa will only be granted to those who really want to study abroad, not those who want to visit Thailand during the holidays. So you need to register for at least 3 courses each semester to prove that you are an international student rather than a traveler.

Step 3 apply for a visa

With the letter of admission, you need a passport valid for more than half a year and a recent passport-sized photo to apply for a study visa in embassies and consulates in China, Thailand.

If you apply for a tourist visa and go to Thailand, because the tourist visa allows you to stay in Thailand for 60 days, the first 30 days should be changed to a study visa, and the last 30 days should be reserved for applying for a non-immigrant ed visa.

The photos required for the application should be accompanied by my signature, and should be signed with a blue ballpoint pen or pen. No, some embassies need two photos, while others need four photos. It is best to prepare as many photos as possible, because there are still forms to be filled out that need photos. Experienced people do not bring passport-sized photos when applying, but also bring some other sizes.

Third, processing materials.

1. Letter of guarantee (in English or Thai) issued by the guarantor, stamped with the official seal of the company and attached with the business card of the guarantor; Indicate the name of the applicant and the purpose of going to Thailand.

2. A letter of admission issued by a Thai institution, indicating the applicant's name, length of stay and major.

3. A certificate issued by the Ministry of Education of Thailand or the local education bureau agreeing to enroll foreign students.

4. Copy of round-trip air ticket or confirmed air ticket order.

5. Curriculum outline

6. Proof of deposit of not less than RMB50,000.
