ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone,

I live in Bangkok with an ED visa (Thai language course) and I’m going to change my visa to an ED dependent visa for my son who is at school.

Can I do the conversion directly at Immigration in Bangkok at the same time as my son’s school transfer, or do I need to leave the country?

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking guidance on whether they can convert their ED visa to an ED dependent visa for their son directly at the Immigration office in Bangkok during a school transfer or if they must leave Thailand for the procedure.
