ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I entered Thailand on an multiple entry education visa. I was supposed to leave and re-enter back in April; however due to COVID I wasn’t able to leave Thailand but was covered as this is when amnesty started. My schooling finished in July and I obtained a teaching job a a kindergarten. My school is in the process of getting me a work permit but they’ve been unsuccessful in changing my visa. I’ve told my school I will have to leave the country on September 26th since they were unable to change my visa but they’re telling me it’s not a problem. Can  anyone clarify on who is right here? If I do have to leave I don’t want to leave everything till the last minute.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster is seeking clarification on their visa status after entering Thailand on a multiple-entry education visa that expired due to Covid-19. They are currently employed at a kindergarten but face challenges in converting their visa to a work visa (Non-B) as their school is unable to process the change. They express concern about needing to leave the country by September 26th.
