What happens to my work permit and visa when changing schools in Thailand?

@David *******

no, it doesn't work like that. You're not on a visa you're on an extension (if you have 11 months left) and you can't transfer a visa or extension anyway... it needs to be cancelled, however if the two schools work together (it's rare they will agree to), you can get your new extension they same day you go cancel your current one after which you can go update your WP.

However if either school refuses to work with the other you will need to cancel your extension, WP and leave so the whole process can be started from scratch.

Also side note, if your current school or new school with not work with the other, make sure you do cancel your WP & Extension before leaving otherwise you will run into problems when getting your new extension and WP. When you have cancelled both you will need to leave the same day, however you can apply for a 30 day extension which will yet rejected but give you 7 days to leave instead of less than 24 hours.

@David *******

then possible to use it as it for the same type of job

@David *******

depends if they are willing to work together to achieve it in time BUT you say your old school, does that mean you have already stopped working there? If so YOU should have already cancelled your work permit. You can't cancel a visa, only an extension of stay
