Can I change my visa from tourist to teaching, student, or dependent visa in Thailand?

Pm sent

Okay evidently

@Ste***

didn't like the information I provided by messenger so tried here for info :P ;)

Here's how the break down works

-IF she comes in on a visa exempt or tourist visa does the in country conversion to a Non-B/work permit and her burmese husband comes in on a tourist visa he could indeed get a 90 day non-O and then a matching extension based on marriage to someone who works here legally

HOWEVER,

IF she comes in on a visa exempt or tourist visa and goes on an ED visa her burmese husband cannot get a Non-O issued inside the country and cannot get a matching extension

That's as clear as I can make it.

If she's gonna come in and go on a ED visa then even if she marries her burmese fiance he's not gonna get a "trailing spouse" Non-O and extension.

You're asking a very complicated question with your husband dependent on you for his permission to stay so there are sequence issues and dependencies. Throw in the complication that you're not actually married yet and it causes a lot of extra uncertainty. Also, not a lot of people have experience doing exactly what you're proposing to do. Therefore, I don't think it's wise to do it in pieces. Because if done that way you might find that at the end the pieces don't fit together. I'm going to recommend two things.

1) Post this question as a topic on forum and wait for a response from ubonjoe. See what

@Tod ********

thinks on this forum.

2) Talk to an agency. I almost never would say this but in this case it's not for convenience or bending the rules, it's simply to understand if it's possible to do something that is as complex as this is. In my opinion, you're going to need someone with a lot of experience (hence recommendation one) or someone who can have a very involved discussion with actual immigration people in Thai (hence recommendation two).

Good luck. I'm way out of my depth on this one.

You can change your type of visa but you can’t hold 2 visa in one person. By the way, for you husband(your fiancé for now). If he want to stay in Thailand with you by your visa. It depend on what type of visa you have.

I would like to know, if one can changes from an ED visa to a non B visa, can you change without leaving the country?

You can't have both an education visa and a non-B (work) visa. But you can go from a tourist visa to either of these provided all your documents are in order. Your school or your employer (depending on which way you go) will arrange this. You also need a work permit for the Non-B. You need to be actually married for your spouse to get the "trailing spouse" visa. You don't actually need an agent to do this. The "agent" will be your school or your employer
