Is it possible to apply for a Change of Visa from student (ed) to business? I'm currently on an ed visa but there's the possibility of working for a company so I may need to change in order to get a work permit. If so, what's the process?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it is possible to change your visa from a student (ED) visa to a business visa (Non-B) in Thailand, but you cannot do it directly. If you are on an initial 90-day visa, you may need to leave Thailand and apply for a Non-B visa at a nearby Thai embassy. If you are on an extension of stay, you must first obtain a cancellation letter from your school and cancel the extension at the immigration office. Failure to do so may result in fines and complications for future visa applications.
