TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired if it's feasible to change their friend's visa status from a Non-O visa to an ED (Education) visa while remaining in Thailand. One comment raised a pertinent question regarding the specific basis for the Non-O visa, such as whether it was obtained through marriage to a Thai national or another reason like volunteering.

they don't issue Non-O visas to be a teacher here inside the country. You're talking about a Non-B visa/extension and whether they can cancel that and then go to an ED visa without leaving the country is between them, the school they enroll in and the immigration office they use.

, is your friend a volunteer teacher? If not, it should be Non-B visa for teaching or extension based on teaching.
