More than 50 participants, including university executives, lecturers, heads of divisions, and staff from various units involved in international student services, attended the session.
The event began with a report by Dr. Nichan Singhaputargun, Acting Head of the Global Relations Division, followed by welcoming remarks by Asst. Prof. Dr. Romyen Kosaikanont, Vice President of MFU.
The session featured expert speakers from the Chiang Rai Immigration Office, including Police Lieutenant Colonel (Female) Nattaya Khadphab, Inspector of the Chiang Rai Immigration Office; Police Captain Saksit Chaiyamee, Sub-Inspector; and Police Captain Sittichoak Luanprasert, Sub-Inspector.

The lecture particularly addressed matters concerning university-related processes, with the Global Relations Division serving as the university’s primary unit for facilitating and coordinating all related matters.
