Hello I just got the necessary documents from both of the school that I am leaving and joining later.

What form do I need to fill close the ED visa I currently have and open a new one. If possible I wanna do it without the border run. My new school tell me to do both process on the same day
Answer summary
To switch schools on your ED visa in Thailand without a border run, you do not need a specific form to cancel your current visa, but you will need documentation from your current school stating your last day. For the new school, you'll fill out a TM7 application for extension form. You must first cancel your current extension with documentation from your old school, then immediately apply for the new extension with documents from your new school. The ability to avoid exiting the country depends on the immigration office and the documents from both schools.

there is no form to cancel the current extension of stay you're on, just the documentation from the school you're leaving stating when your last day is.

For the new extension you'd fill out a TM7 application for extension form.

You'll cancel the extension from the school you're stopping studying on, and you'll immediately apply for a new extension with the new documents from the school you're starting studying on.

Hopefully both schools are in the same area and you use the same immigration office

Whether you can do it without exiting/re-entering the country and starting over depends on the documents from the schools you're leaving and starting at and your immigration office.

They might not let you switch schools on the current extension you have. You might need to cancel it, then bounce out/back to get a free entry stamp and THEN apply for a new in country 90 day Non-ED visa

Update : Since my institute is private but it is under university they don't let me change within the country. They told me to do the border run.

thank you so much for your clarification. They give me TM 7 for form. I just wanna make sure if it is correct since this is like a rare case for my school.
