Is it possible to change to a non B visa straight from a non ed visa? Or do I have change to a tourist visa first and then change to a non B?

Answer summary

It is not possible to change directly from a Non-ED visa to a Non-B visa in Thailand. Generally, you need to cancel your current visa and either leave the country to apply for the Non-B visa at a Thai consulate abroad or return on a temporary visa (like a 30-day visa exemption or a 60-day tourist visa) before applying for the Non-B visa at an immigration office in Thailand.

You can't change any Non-Immigrant type VISA to one of another type.

You MIGHT <- as in maybe be able to change an extension of stay of one type (like employment) to one of another type (like education)

BUT

I have only seen it a few times. most of the time you cancel your ED visa extension, leave the country and either get the Non-B visa from a thai consulate in another country OR come back on a 30 day visa exempt or a 60 day tourist visa and then apply for the 90 day Non-B at the immigration office.
