Hey all,

I have a friend on a Volunteer visa (agent granted), which will expire soon.

Is it possible to switch to a tourist or covid visa while still in country?

Would they be able to do this on their own? 

Also--does anyone know the schools still doing education visas (feel free to PM).

Apologies is this has been asked (I searched but only saw questions regarding the reverse--covid to volunteer.)

Thanks,

Answer summary

The post discusses the possibility for a friend currently on a Volunteer visa to switch to a Covid or Tourist visa while still in Thailand. Respondents confirm that it is possible to convert to a Covid visa if the proper steps are followed. This includes cancelling the Volunteer visa and its associated Work Permit, and then applying for the Covid visa at the immigration office. Additionally, there is a request for information about schools that offer education visas.

The Work Permit associated with the Visa has to be cancelled first. The applicant then attends the immigration office to request volunteer visa cancellation and request the covid extension

The volunteer visa was issued in another Provence. Could it be canceled in BKK? Could covid be issued in BKK?
