(applies for your first application to the program only!)
You apply from outside Thailand?
You may apply by mail with all required papers and pictures (as described for applicants from within Thailand below), or you may choose the simplified application process by e-mail.
This simplified application process applies for applicants of any nationality applying from outside Thailand only.
Please download the Application Form for the program of your choice, complete it, and send it together with a recent photo per e-mail to IIS-RU.
If accepted, you will receive a Letter of Admission. With this letter, you get a student visa at the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate in your country.
At the day of registration, you have to submit the papers and pictures as described in the process for applicants within Thailand below. Then, you also can pay the application fee (see below).
Your High-School Diploma is not from a Thai School?
In this case, you need to get a confirmation in your country that your high-school diploma is equivalent to the U.S. grade 12 high-school diploma, or the British university entrance diploma, or Mathayom 6 of Thailand. (In case you want to study non-degree, please certify that your high-school diploma is equivalent to the U.S. grade 9 Junior High-School Diploma).
Certifying authority can be any accredited educational organization, such as state or state accredited schools, universities, or the ministry of education in your country.
A signature and an official seal is needed for credibility. Please be prepared to submit the original document with your application papers.
If necessary, you can get this certification also in Bangkok, either at the education section of your embassy or in the Ministry of Education. Besides the effort that needs, especially requesting the certification at the Ministry of Education is a time consuming process. Since they will send a letter to your school and then wait for the answer, you should consider about two months until you have the paper in hands. You certainly can already start your studies, but the uncertainty remains over this period of time.
