Program Duration and Visa:

The program duration is 15 months, and students will receive a non-immigrant education visa (ED visa). They will receive an initial 90-day visa and then renew the visa for another 12 months. All immigration fees and services related to visa renewal are included in the program fee.

Visa Processing:

All applicants must visit Chiang Mai Immigration in person to process visa conversion and visa renewal. This cannot be done at other immigration offices due to jurisdiction, as the university is located in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Applicants must have at least 30 business days of current visa remaining in order to allow enough time for visa conversion processing. For those who don’t have enough visa remaining days, it may still be possible to process on a case-by-case basis but with an additional fee and the need to follow strict dates and procedures.
