Does anyone know if it is currently possible to change a Non-B working visa to an education visa without leaving the country?
My situation is that I'm currently working at a school here in Thailand and trying to study online at the same time, but my work is cutting into my studies far too much, so I'd rather leave my job to be able to study full time. I'm happy to study Thai language or Muay Thai for an hour or so each day, but wouldn't want to do more than about 15 hours a week of either.
I contacted some language schools and agencies around October 2020, and many said it was impossible at the time, while others said it would be no problem, but would cost around 40k baht but its hard to tell if they are reputable. Some companies said that it would only be possible to change a Tourist visa to an Ed visa, but changing a Non-b to an Ed visa would be impossible. Some other companies said I should pursue the Non-O volunteer visa.
So essentially the question is, does anyone know of a 100% legit way (ideally with concrete evidence of successful stories) to change a Non-B to an Ed visa (or volunteer visa) at this time?
