1. What type of visa do I need as an international student in the TEFL program at Chulalongkorn University?
International students enrolling in the Master’s Degree of Education in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) need a Non-Immigrant ED (Education) visa. This visa allows you to study full-time in Thailand for the duration of your program.

You can extend your visa after the initial 90-day period. You must request documents required to apply for an extension at the Thai Immigration Bureau through this visa application system (https://visa.inter.chula.ac.th/ ). (Submit your visa extension request to the Office of International Affairs at least 45 days before the visa expiration date.)

All international students holding a Non-Immigrant ED visa must report their current address to the Thai Immigration Bureau every 90 days. You can do this by visiting the immigration office or completing the process online. Failure to report may result in a fine.
