What are my options for extending my visa in Thailand as my education visa expires while my work visa is still valid?
I have been on an education visa the last 2 years. And had about 6 years of work visa and work permit before I took an online job. I am trying to figure out what I should do as my visa expires January 2027 but my education visa ends march 15 I believe. I would like to graduate to a longer term visa. If anyone in pattaya knows where I can go to speak with someone I would greatly appreciate it. I really don’t want to have any issues as I have always done and paid everything on time and haven’t done border runs unless I was renewing a visa. If someone in pattaya has an office I could come to please let me know I’m in such a strange position as my lease ends next month. Thank you
Answer summary
The individual has been on an education visa for two years and has previously held a work visa for six years. They seek guidance on transitioning to a longer-term visa as their education visa expires in March 2026, while their work-related documents, including their passport, are valid until January 2027. They are looking for local assistance in Pattaya to avoid any immigration complications, especially since their lease ends soon.

This is confusing. You appear to have two different visas expiring at two different times. Can you explain please.
