A SETV can be converted to a Non-Immigrant B visa inside the country, for work such as at a school. However:
- Can a SETV *evisa* be converted to a Non-Immigrant B visa inside the country?
- What about a VE stamp (with 15/21 days remaining on it)?
- What if you are on a SETV evisa, and then get a COVID extension while the school is preparing the needed documents?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, a SETV (Single Entry Tourist Visa) can be converted to a Non-Immigrant B visa within Thailand, including both the traditional visa sticker and eVisa formats. The conversion applies to both the SETV types, with the key differences being the application forms used. Additionally, a visa-exempt entry stamp can also be converted to a Non-Immigrant B visa. However, the acceptance of conversion applications depends on the local immigration office; thus, it's advisable to check with them for specific conditions, especially under COVID-19 extensions.
