I’m currently on an ED Visa until late August because I am studying my Masters degree here in Thailand, but I plan to drop out, start teaching and switch to a Non B.
1. Do I HAVE to leave Thailand for this? The school that I’ve interviewed at has a visa agent who suggested I do a visa run.
2. Is it necessary to cancel my ED Visa at immigration? I did this before when changing universities and went from 1 ED Visa to another, but I don’t plan to study in Thailand again.
*most important*
3. Where is it possible to do a visa run/apply for a Non B nowadays? I read that Cambodia takes 5 days now. Is Laos an option? Or anywhere which is less than 5 days. Or just come back on an entry stamp and convert that to a Non B within Thailand? Other suggestions?
I have a South African passport and all necessary documents for a Non B.
Thank you.
