TLDR : Answer Summary

If you have a Non-OA visa and wish to convert it to a Non-O visa while in Thailand, it is not possible to change it directly. You will need to leave Thailand to 'break' the Non-OA visa. Upon departure, depending on your nationality, you can re-enter Thailand either visa exempt, on a tourist visa, or with a fresh Non-O visa. Make sure to check the required documentation for the Non-O application, and consider timing your exit and re-entry to stay compliant with visa rules.

NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

You can get a new 12 month entry stamp (not multi-entry) while the Non-OA is still valid by getting insurance for another 12 months and doing a border bounce just before it expires.

Das alte NON-OA erst verfallen lassen (achte auch darauf, was in deinem Reisepass gestempelt wurde). Sprich VOR Ende OA ausreisen, dann wieder mit 30 Tage Stempel einreisen. Direkt zur Immigration und das NON-O beantragen. Beachte die 15 Tage Restlaufzeit. Erkundige dich auch, welche Dokumente du brauchst (Bank/Einkommen) und in welcher Form (beglaubigt/Kopie mit blauer Tinte etc.). Bereite dich im Vorfeld gut vor 👍🏼

You cannot convert to a Non O from a Non OA. You have to leave Thailand to “break” the Non OA. Then depending on your nationality you can either enter visa exempt, or a tourist visa or a fresh new Non O visa and go from there.
