Good morning everyone

If you're on an Ed visa ( Thai course) then you get a job offer, can you keep the Ed visa while your future employer is processing your non b? The working hours won't allow you to attend classes anymore. Can the Thai language  school cancel your ed visa before you get your non b?

Note :2 months left on the Ed visa 

Thank you in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you have an Ed visa for studying Thai and receive a job offer that prevents you from attending classes, maintaining your Ed visa while your future employer processes your Non-B visa may not be possible. As per the comments, transitioning from an Ed visa to a different visa type within Thailand isn't permitted; you'll likely need to exit the country to apply for the Non-B visa.

Seeing as you can't go from an Ed visa or extension to any other visa in country, this is a moot point. You will have to leave the country to get a new Non-B anyway.

That depends if you are on the initial visa or an extension of stay. Visas are not cancelled, but if you are on an extension of stay the school could cancel that dated from the date of your last class attendance.

if you are on an extension of stay you will need to cancel it when you stop studying at the school. If you get a letter from the school stating the last day of study you can cancel it in advance.

sorry I have another question if that's OK. Can they cancel it before I'm ready to leave the country to apply for a non b? I couldn't find any info online about it.
