Intrnational Studnt Handbook

20 I Welcome to Thaksin University Remark: It is important that the students should carefully study the immigration regulations when they travel to different countries. The regulations are changed very often, the incoming students should check the most update policies on the Royal Thai Embassy website. Change of Affiliation Those holding a certain non-immigrant visa wishing to change their affiliation may request the change of affiliation at the Immigration Bureau in Thailand (e.g. those holding an ED visa at an academic institution in Thailand wishing to change to another institution.) Request your former host Faculty/Institute/School to issue a letter of affiliation cancellation, and ask the new institution that has accepted you to issue a letter to request for affiliation change in support of application for visa extension and submit them to Immigration Division 1, Immigration Bureau* Important Note: The date of cancellation of your affiliation with the former institution must fall exactly on (or at least overlap with) the date of acceptance to the new institution to avoid overstaying in the country. In the case where there is a gap between the cancellation and the acceptance date, a foreign student may risk being penalized for his/her overstay in the country and may have to leave the country and re-enter on a new visa.
