Intrnational Studnt Handbook

International Student Handbook I 21 Visa Termination When you terminate your status as a student (withdrawal of student status, graduation, etc.) in Thailand, you also need to terminate your current visa to comply with the immigration law. Request your host Faculty/Institute/School to issue a letter of visa termination together with other related documents and submit them to the Immigration Bureau. Important Notes: Application for the termination of a visa is accepted within the period of twenty-one (21) days prior to the desired date of termination or the last day of student or employment status. The term “last day of student status” means the date a student is granted a degree (by the University Council, and this date will normally be written on the transcript or the degree certificate.) However, please bear in mind that the day of the commencement ceremony is not the official date of graduation as many students mistake the day of the commencement ceremony as the graduation date. This results in an unintentional overstay in the country. (The date of graduation is, in general, prior to the day of the commencement ceremony). For more information about the Immigration Bureau.
