Non-imm "b" Change To Non-imm "ed"

[sakib]

Currnetly I am holding a Non-Imm "B" VISA expire end of Aug 2008. I resigned and I enrolled in an University in Bangkok already. I would like to run my VISA with my student VISA. Now I would like to know, is it possible to change Non-Imm "B" to Non-Imm "ED" in Thailand?

Please avise.

If you have the paperwork to extend on a yearly basis believe you can extend for education (without any visa change).

I am doing MBA, definitely I have to run yearly basis. Now the University can provide neccessary docs to extend 1 year for. Would you pls advise at immigration office where should I contact?

You get the documents, TM.7, 1,900 baht and current 4x6cm photo and make application at your local immigration office for one year extension of stay. If doing in Bangkok you present your papers to information desk at Suan Phlu (tell them what you want) and they provide queue numbers and advise you where to go.

I have extend my stay permit for 1 year with the University support as you advised earlier.

Even though my VISA class is Non-Imm "B", how do they extend stay permit with the support of University doc's? what is the reason there?

As the extension has done on the Non-Imm "B", do I have to concern about tax or work permit?

at the eand, Thank you Mr. Lupburi3
