Hi, I have 2 questions: 1. Can a tourist visa on the visa amnesty be changed to a Non-Immigrant O visa within Thailand due to COVID-19? 2) Is it possible to change to a student visa within Thailand due to COVID-19? I am concerned that if I leave Thailand at the end of the amnesty that to process a visa, that I may not be able to return immediately.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The possibility of changing a tourist visa on amnesty to a Non-Immigrant O visa or a student visa within Thailand is limited. If your visa has expired, you typically need to leave Thailand and apply for a new visa from outside the country.
