Non Thai Au applicants accepted for admissions are provided an Acceptance Letter which is mainly used to apply for a Non-Immigrant Visa at any Royal Thai Embassy / Consulate. This same letter also may be useful in arranging finances and other matters necessary for the pursuit of studies at Au.

After a student arrives at the University, the office of the Registrar provides a service to students which includes:

Visa extensions for full-time students who carry a minimum of 12 credits per semester. Students must apply for the Visa extension at least 3 weeks before the expiration of their current visa. A Visa extension costs 700 Baht and is available for a 6-12 months period. Applicants must submit a copy of a current semester registration receipt showing a minimum of 12 paid credits as part of the application.

Re-entry Permits for brief travels abroad in order to retain current visa. If a student leaves Thailand without a re-entry permit, the student’s visa will be invalidated. A re-entry permit costs 500 Baht for a single re-entry and 1,000 Baht for multiple re-entry. Re-entry permits must be applied for by at least three weeks before departure.
