Hello. I am currently in Khon Kaen on a non-b teacher visa. I need to transfer to non-b BOI visa for a company in Bangkok. I need to find a way of changing visa types without leaving the country.

Is it possible? 

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently in Khon Kaen on a non-B teacher visa and seeks to switch to a non-B BOI visa for a job in Bangkok without leaving Thailand. The comments clarify that changing visa types is not possible, but changing the reason for an Extension of Stay might be feasible. The user should consult their new employer and the BOI for specific procedures.

Procedures at OSOS for BOI companies are a bit different from those for 'standard' companies. Talk with your new employer for detail and follow their direction.

You can not change the reason of an issued and used visa.

You can change the reason of the Extension of Stay.

You have to discuss with your new employer if they can meet the requirements and with the BOI how to cancel your current Extension of Stay (if you already have one) into the new Extension of Stay based on your new employer.

If your new employer and BOI agree with that plan and have all documents ready, yes you can.
