FAQ

Accommodation

Is on-campus accommodation or a dormitory provided for international visiting students?

Regrettably, we are unable to provide on-campus accommodation for international students.

Due to the increasing number of our local students each year, the dormitory capacity is extremely limited and fully reserved for them.

Our Support: To assist you in your arrangements, we will provide a "List of Accommodations near the Campus" upon request. Many of our visiting students find these nearby options convenient, comfortable, and easy to book.

Visa & Immigration

Do I need to apply for a Non-Immigrant Education Visa if my country is eligible for a Visa Exemption (Free Visa) or Tourist Visa?

Yes. According to our Faculty's regulations and Thai Immigration Law, all visiting students are strictly required to apply for a Non-Immigrant Education Visa (Non-ED).

Your visa type must correctly align with the purpose of your entry into Thailand (Education/Training, not Tourism).

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: We strongly advise against entering the country on a Tourist Visa or Visa Exemption (Free Visa). Doing so creates a discrepancy between your visa status and your actual clinical activities, which may lead to: 1. Refusal of entry by the Immigration Bureau at the airport. 2. Legal complications during your training at our hospital.

Inbound Elective Program

Is an English proficiency score required, even if I have studied English since childhood?

Yes. As per our regulations, all non-native English speakers are required to submit an English proficiency test result (e.g., TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, or an equivalent test from your home country).

There is no specific minimum score requirement, except for certain departments or divisions that may enforce their own criteria.

When should I apply for an elective program, and what are the application rounds?

You must apply at least 4 months before your actual start date or the deadline set by your home university, whichever comes first.

Please note that all starting dates must strictly fall on the 1st Monday or 3rd Monday of the month.

Our application rounds open during specific periods as follows:

  • November (1–30 Nov): For electives starting in April – September.
  • February (1–28 Feb): For electives starting in July – December.
  • May (1–31 May): For electives starting in October – March.
  • August (1–31 Aug): For electives starting in January – June.
Can I change my department or division after I arrive or after my placement has been confirmed?

No. Changing the department or division is strictly not permitted once your placement has been officially confirmed.

Any modifications to the schedule require an entirely new coordination and official approval process across departments, which typically takes an additional 1–2 months to complete.

Could international applicants apply for the 6-year doctor of medicine program?
The 6-year Doctor of Medicine (MD/ MBBS) program is not available to international applicants, as the curriculum is offered only in Thai.
