Hello everyone, I need your advice!
Our staff member is Indonesian and entered Thailand with a 60-day tourist visa exemption, but the immigration officer wrote (ม.17) next to the stamped.
Can he do a visa conversion with this type of visa? He would like to change to a Non-B visa at the Immigration Office in Thailand.
Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A community member seeks advice on whether an Indonesian national with a 60-day tourist visa exemption, marked with 'ม.17' by immigration, can convert this visa to a Non-B visa in Thailand. Several comments highlight the lack of clear information regarding this new stamp type, suggesting that while individuals from certain nationalities (specifically Russian and Taiwanese) may face issues in extending or converting their visas, experiences vary. One user confirms the possibility of converting to a Non-Immigrant Educational visa, but is unsure about the Non-B visa, indicating that official confirmation from immigration is necessary.
