Hi guys, sorry if this has been covered already. I'm currently on a non Ed visa that expires on 7th September. I am getting married in early August does anyone know if it's possible to switch from a non Ed to a non o in the country at the moment? Thanks in advance 😊

thanks, very informative. Can I do this without leaving the country? Also my extension of stay was granted in BKK, do you know if I can cancel it in another province?

You can cancel it and apply for a new Extension at the Immigration Office where your address is registered,

But as you go school in Bangkok, I hope you do not live to far away

I guess if you look in the passport you see a big stamp, with on top the location of the Immigration Office and in line 2 Extension of Stay permitted up to 7 Sep 2020.

As this is not a visa you can cancel this extra stay with a letter from your school and directly apply for a new 1 year Extension of Stay based on being married with a Thai National,

Before you cancel, make sure and double check that you meet all the requirements and can get this new Extension of Stay
