Dear Ms. Phanthiwa,
Thank you for your email. ADB-JSP will provide advance payment to the university only if we receive the request in advance. We thought that reimbursement is preferred by Thammasat because from 2008 until July 2015, all payments were only through reimbursement. Then the request for advance payment came late (August 2015 to June 2016), we only receive it after the scholars have already commenced their studies. And since there are incomplete documents in the reimbursement, we cannot process it right away. So in this case, we expect Thammasat to provide the scholars with their allowances since this has not been an issue in the past. If Thammast would like to request for advance, you can send the request to us after the selection has been finished and few months before the commencement. To avoid any delay, kindly make sure that the documents such as claim forms and receipts during liquidation are complete.
Hoping for your kind cooperation.
