Non-ED Visa for intern

Hello everyone, hope yall doing great.

I suppose to be in Bangkok for an internship on 23rd of April, however, I am stuck due to the documents that Thai Embassy required. It's oddly strictly about the paperwork in Shanghai Embassy, no authorization letter accepted. Hence, I am wondering is there anyway I can apply other visa types instead, and change to Non-ED Visa after arriving at Bangkok? Thank you in advance. 

Have a nice day.

Answer summary

The user is facing issues obtaining the required documents for a Non-ED Visa for their internship in Bangkok, leading them to inquire about the possibility of applying for a different visa type (such as a tourist visa) and later switching to a Non-ED Visa after arriving in Thailand.

you could probably apply for a single entry tourist visa

The thing is, IF you get here and can't do the in country conversion from the tourist visa to the ED visa using documentation from your company, you'd have to go back to China to get the ED visa because Chinese passport holders can't use the thai consulates in neighboring countries to get visas.

, yep, it's totally possible IF the documentation from your company is what is required to do the conversion at the immigration office.
