I am currently on an ED-Plus visa valid until June 2025, and I have a dependent on non-O visa also valid until June. If I switch from an ED-Plus to a non-B visa, what will happen to my dependents’ visa status? Will they need to cancel their non-O visas and apply for new ones, or can they change their visa status within Thailand without leaving the country?
TLDR : Answer Summary
If you switch from an ED-Plus visa to a non-B visa, your dependent's non-O visa will no longer be valid once your visa is cancelled or expired. Your dependent will need to apply for a new non-O visa, which may be done at the local immigration office if your new employer agrees to support the application. It is unclear whether your dependent will need to leave Thailand to apply for the new visa, as this can depend on the specific immigration office.
