Will a printout of my university acceptance letter suffice for my ED visa application?

ED Visa Thailand Visa Certificate of Entry (CoE)Visa Application Immigration Thai Embassy Student Visa Visa Requirements

ORIGINAL POSTER

I’m in a bit of a conundrum. I’m applying for an ED visa in Chicago and am set to leave on 11/27. Already have CoE, ASQ, Flight booked. 

I applied for the CoE using a scan of my university’s acceptance letter. However the physical copy they sent has been lost in transit. It’s possible that I won’t get a new physical letter soon enough to apply and receive my Visa before my flight, even with expedited shipping

At this point I’m desperate as my departure date is coming up. I wonder if a printout of my acceptance letter would work. The embassy website in DC does not specifically state “original” but I know I’ve seen it in other places: [members only]/￼

Thoughts?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is applying for an ED visa and is concerned about not receiving a physical acceptance letter from their university in time for the visa application before their flight. They ask if a printout of the acceptance letter would be sufficient, given the urgency of their situation. Comments suggest that a color printout may be acceptable, and adding university contact information could help facilitate verification.

Doing a full color print of it will work, not a black and white print. They understand that most documents like that are sent by email from the school, not by physical mail.

Why not also add a page with your contacts that you dealt with at university so they can contact them if unsure

the scanned docs my school sent me include that + a lot of additional information, ie my transcripts, schedule, etc. so im hoping that might suffice

@Kati ****

i came in July and didnt use any original documents (apart from passport) just colour printed. I think they realise in these times it can be difficult. Good luck

I also find colour printing helps - identical document rejected when photocopied in B+W was accepted in color 🙅🏻‍♀️
