Hello,

I am currently on a student Thai language visa. I got a new job so I'm planning to go to savannakhet to get a nonB work visa then come back. I know I need to cancel my current visa before I leave and set the dates accordingly, so I will do that before I go to Laos (it is a legit Thai language visa, so I have proof I am a student there). 

I've been in Thailand since July, so about 8/9 months. Originally entered with tourist visa issued in my home country (Canada, and then converted to a student Thai language visa with Payap uni in CM)

This is still allowed at Savannakhet right? Even coming from a student visa? 

The school is doing the paperwork for the application. Do I need any bank statements or anything out of the ordinary to get this done. Anything else I should bring? 

I can cross over to Laos on a Sunday to be at Thai embassy early Monday morning?

Thanks everyone in advance 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Visa conversion?? What's that? But if anything is converted, it isn't outside of Thailand. There you are without a visa?

Embassies don't do visa conversions. But that's oaky because you're not converting any visa. You won't have a visa when you go to Laos because you already cancelled your extension. You're just applying for a non-B visa.

thank you, yes, I edited it. Not converting. Cancelling old visa and applying for a nonB work visa.
