Good afternoon guys.. i would like to know if a work permit is connected to a certain school only or can i change schools but just renew the permit ?
Answer summary
When changing schools in Thailand, you cannot simply renew your work permit. You must obtain a new work permit linked to the new employer. The old work permit must be canceled, and if your visa includes the name of the previous school, you will also need to secure a new visa for employment at the new school.

If you change employer you must change from work permit. Next to this if you stay inside Thailand on an Extension of Stay this must be cancelled on the last day of your work at old employer together with the cancellation of the old Work Permit. If you stay on a Visa that has the name of the school on it, than this visa can not be used to work at a new employer and you must get a new visa

But do i have to go through all the paper work again? Like applying for a work permit from the start?

The school will have to be listed in the work permit. You can work at a second job (school) but if switching from one to another you will need to take documents from the old school to immigration. Others should be able to clarify further
