Double degree HSRM students have to obtain the Non Immigration ED visa which allows them to stay in Thailand for 90 days.  There are two types of visa for which they can apply, depending on their plans.

1) Single entry:  The date printed on the visa is the date by which you must use the visa to enter Thailand, NOT the date by which you are allowed to stay in the country.  After your arrival, the period of your stay is indicated by the immigration stamp which you will receive upon your arrival; this is normally 90 days from the date you arrive.  Please note that this is the date by which you should request for the extension of your stay.

2) Multiple entries:  This type of visa is good for those who plan to travel outside Thailand a number of times during the exchange term.  Every time you leave and return to the country, your period of stay will be extended by 90 days as stated on the immigration stamp you receive upon each return.  This means you can prolong your stay by leaving the country and returning before each 90-day period is over.
