ED Visa for internship

[AlexandreHHH]

Hi,

 

I am currently in Bangkok for an internship (started early January) under an ED visa that I did in my home country (France) but I decided to change company because the one that I am working in right now does not correspond to what I applied for. I already found a new company which is going to hire me as an intern, starting in February. 

I am quite lost on what to do. Do I have to do an ED visa again because I am changing of company?  If yes, I would like to go to Vientiane but I cannot find online which documents I need to bring in order to get my visa there.

 

Looking forward to your answers, it will help me a lot.

Mind you,immigration now requires work permit for internship extension

You could change to another company to do the internship without needing a new non-ed visa entry.

Do you have a single or multiple entry non-ed visa?

I reality there is no extension of stay that can be applied for at immigration unless attending a university and the internship is part of the course of study. Otherwise ti can only be done for working with a non-b visa and a work permit.

It is not for an extension but just a change of company.

Thanks for your answer, can I start my new internship asap then? I have a single entry non ED visa. The internship is 6 month (2 x 3 month), it's not a problem to leave the country, after the first three month, do an other ed visa (in Laos for example) and continue the internship for another 3 month?

You could get another non-ed visa.

For those who wish to attend seminar, or training session, or internship, a recommendation letter from the concerned organization addressed to the Embassy is also required ສ

Thank you for all the informations, I will continue with my current ED visa then.

 

For the non ed visa in Vientiane, I only need these documents (Letter of acceptance from the concerned academic organization, Copy of registration certificate of the concerned academic institute, recommendation letter from the concerned organization addressed to the Embassy) ? I don't need any internship agreements for the ed visa?  

 

When I had to do the non ed visa in France, I had to give more of papers.

I think you need something like that according the info I posted earlier for a internship.

It might be best to contact the embassy to find out what exactly they will require.
