TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to change from one ED (Education) visa to another without leaving Thailand, but the process involves cancellation of the current visa. Typically, you need to cancel your current ED visa through your current school, obtain a 60-day COVID extension, and then apply for a new 90-day ED visa through the new school you plan to attend. However, the final decision is subject to both the new school and the immigration office's policies.

That is totally between the two schools (the one you're at now, and the one you will be attending) and the immigration office.

Some will let you do it and some won't. What we normally see is you cancel the current ED visa extension with paperwork from your school, then get a 60 day covid extension and THEN apply for a new 90 day ED visa with the new school

You'll have to check with the new school and the immigration office you'd be using to see if they will allow it or not

Yes but they have to cancel everything and start from Non B again. It's all about the money. Give me money.
