Education Visa

[LauChan]

Hi, anyone know if you can change schools with education visa? Studying Thai at Language school.

ask the new school that you wish to go to if it can be done.  they should know

You might  be able to change schools by canceling your current extension of stay (it is not a visa) for attending a school and then apply for a new extension of stay with supporting documents from another school.

You can change schools but you can't use the existing education visa. You need to get another education visa by applying again.

 

The education visa is tied to the school because they provided the documents to immigration.

 

Why are you changing the school?

That would mean leaving the country to get a new visa entry.

Read my post about another possible option.

As always with immigration, this might of course differ by province, in one it might be possible, in another maybe not. I know people who changed schools without leaving the country, so they didn't get a new education visa, they just got a new extension.
