TLDR : Answer Summary

The process of transferring schools with a Non B visa in Thailand can be complex. It is advisable to consult both your current and new school to clarify the transfer process. It's important to note that changing schools may require starting the visa and work permit processes over, as working without a valid work permit is not permitted.

You need to ask both of your schools if they can facilitate the transfer
