Can I change my covid visa extension to an education visa without leaving Thailand?
Hi could anyone advise me, if I have been put onto a covid visa extension, can that be changed onto a different visa example education visa with out leaving the country? Thank you
Answer summary
The ability to change a covid visa extension to an education visa without leaving the country depends on the previous visa type. If the individual was previously on a tourist visa or a visa-exempt entry, switching to an education visa is generally allowed.

Depends what you had before the covid extension. If you're coming from a tourist or visa exempt, then yes it's no problem.

Are you asking me or telling me? How much did you pay for the visa?Garrett ***********
@Mic****
Then you don't have a visa on arrival, you have a visa exempt entry. Meaning you entered exempt from needing a visa. Big difference. Visa exempt entry you can transition to anything in country.
