Can I change my Non-B visa to a Non-O visa while planning to work online in Thailand?
Is it possible to change my non b to a non o in Thailand. We are both teachers but I would like to resign so that I can focus on working online.
Thanks in advance 😉

Are you on a visa or an extension of stay? You will need a work permit if your work is in Thailand, online or otherwise, so make sure what you want to change to supports that

I have been working online/remotely for a few years now, mostly on tourist visas. There *may* be tax concerns in the future but mostly if you are not taking a job from a Thai person, there are little concerns about working online.

Non O? Retirement visas? Or which visas do you want to convert to? Or want to resign and hop on the spouse's visa?

OP@Chrisna *********
yes I would like the spouse visa if possibleKool *******
@Christopher *****
the spouse extension is all about what type of teaching. If your spouse is teaching at the university level then you could get a spouse extension, but if it is just teaching English then there is no spouse extension available.Christopher ******
OP@Kool ******
yes correct. Thank you. Do you know what the requires are?Kool *******
@Christopher *****
you are wanting to get a type O extension based on working spouse from your current type B visa extension. You should be able to do that inside Thailand, as long as your wife's teaching job allows dependents. Not all do.Christopher ******
OP@Kool ******
I am looking for getting a new visa. I don't want to do an extension.Chrisna **********
@Christopher *****
would suggest asking her employer, as they give you all the paperwork etc. It is possible to convert. Good luck!Christopher ******
