Am looking to launch new business and wish to switch to a business visa and get work permit also. With the pandemic is there any way to get the business visa in-country since leaving is not safe.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A retiree in Thailand on a Non-O visa is inquiring about the possibility of switching to a business visa and obtaining a work permit while remaining in the country, especially due to safety concerns regarding international travel during the pandemic. The response indicates that typically, there is no straightforward means to convert a Non-O visa to a business-related visa that allows for work, but suggests contacting the Australian Chamber of Commerce or New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Thailand for potential assistance or exceptions.
