TLDR : Answer Summary
To change from a Student Visa (ED visa) to a Work Permit Visa (Non-B visa) in Thailand, you need to follow a specific process. Confirm with your new employer if they can provide the necessary documentation for the Non-B visa at an immigration office. You will first need a letter from your school indicating your last study date, cancel your ED extension at the immigration office, and apply for a 60-day COVID extension. Finally, gather the required documents and apply for the 90-day Non-B visa at the immigration office. Ensure that both your employer and the immigration office confirm that this process can be completed.

Whether you can go from an ED visa/extension to an in country 90 day Non-B visa totally depends on IF your employer can meet the documentation requirements to apply for the Non-B visa inside the country at the immigration office. <- you need to be talking to your new employer AND the immigration office you'd be dealing with

The way it works IS

You would get a letter from your school saying you stop studying on xxx date, go to the immigration office cancel your ED extension and then immediately apply for a 60 day covid extension. THEN get the documentation together and go apply for the 90 day Non-B visa at your immigration office

Again this process should only be undertaken AFTER you have confirmed with both your new employer and the immigration office that it can be done
