Hello, I am looking for advice on transferring my and my child’s Thai F visa to a student/ guardian visa. Please advice on how long transfer takes, what paper work is needed. We are in Thailand with limited time remaining on the current F visa. Thank you!🙏
Answer summary
The process of transferring from a Thai F visa to a student or guardian visa typically requires you to leave Thailand, as it's unlikely you can change the visa type while remaining in the country. You will need to apply for the new visas at a nearby consulate and provide necessary documentation from the school your child will attend. It's important to account for the time needed for this process, especially since you have limited time remaining on your current visa.

I don't believe you will be able to transfer this type of visa to another type of visa inside Thailand. You would need to leave Thailand and apply for the ED and Guardian visas from a nearby consulate, you'll need relevant paperwork from the school the child will attend to do so.
