Trying to convert ED (Thai) to Elite.

Elite is telling me I need “an official document” from OBEC (Office of Basic Educational Commission). Elite is not being helpful in what this document is. I believe it is a document that I would take into immigration to cancel the ED visa. 

The school is also unsure and can only provide documents from MOE (Ministry of Education). This a real school that I seriously attend and not some kind of agent visa or mill.

Anyone know what this document is, I need to be able to explain it to my school. Failure to get this document will results in needing a visa run.

Answer summary

The user is seeking clarification on the specific official document required from OBEC to convert their ED visa to an Elite visa in Thailand. Elite is non-specific about the documentation needed, and the school can only provide documents from the Ministry of Education. There are community suggestions for the school to contact Elite directly for more clarity and advice on how to proceed with the visa conversion process.

I'd just go to CW and try and get the PE visa stamped yourself, elite customer service is just a bunch of sales agents.

If possible, ask the school to contact Elite directly to confirm what documents are needed. Often things gets lost in translation.
