ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Changing schools can impact the Non-O and ED visa status in Thailand since these visas are tied to the specific school the child is enrolled in. When changing schools, the current extensions must be canceled based on the termination letter from the first school. A new application for a Non-ED or Non-O visa needs to be submitted under the new school. The ability to apply for new visas/extensions without leaving Thailand may depend on the collaboration between the two schools. It's advisable to discuss the process in advance with both schools to understand the exact procedures needed.
