TLDR : Answer Summary
The original post discusses the possibility of changing a 90-day visa to a retirement visa while in Thailand. Comments from the community suggest that changing a tourist visa to a retirement visa is possible, but some advise obtaining a Non Immigrant O visa before arrival to avoid complications. There are also reminders about the rapid changes in visa regulations, highlighting the importance of staying informed.

Things change so rapidly here and there could be big changes at the end of May as well. My personal advice is if you intend to get a retirement
Visa theN start with that in the first instance.

Just get the Non Imm O visa before you come, no need to mess about changing visas when you get here.

Can I enter Thailand on a 45-day visa exemption and later transition to a long-term retirement visa?
