Is it possible to change an non-imm O visa, based on retirement to a work visa, without leaving the country?
Answer summary
Changing a Non-Imm O visa based on retirement to a work visa without leaving Thailand is generally not permitted. Once a reason for the visa has been established, it cannot be changed retroactively. However, if you are on an Extension of Stay, you may cancel it and apply for a new Extension based on employment, but it is advisable to discuss the requirements with your employer and immigration authorities beforehand.

No, you gave a reason on application and got the sticker in your passport, you can not change the reason afterwards as the visa is used.
if you are on an Extension of Stay, you can cancel this Extension and apply directly for a new Extension of Stay based on employment, But discuss this first with your employer and immigration if they can meet the requirements
