Can I convert a 60-day visa exempt to a 12-month Non-O visa based on marriage while in Thailand?
Is there a means to convert a 60 visa exempt to a 12 month visa based on marriage whilst in Thailand?
My wife and her cousin went to the immigration office - more to obtain what is needed in terms of paperwork, and the lady was extremely helpful and kind and was going to do it, checked my passport. But wasnt concerned that i didn’t have a Type O visa but the fact I only had 7 days remaining before flying back to UK. She said I needed at least 30 days remaining.
I thought mmm, i wasn’t expecting that.
Im still planning on obtaining the Type O this October/November but wondered had anyone else been successful in trying.

Answer summary
Yes, it is possible to convert a 60-day visa exempt into a Non-O visa based on marriage while in Thailand, but there are specific requirements. You should have at least 15 to 30 days remaining on your current entry stamp to apply for the conversion. Many expats recommend applying for the Non-O visa in their home country, particularly if they lack a Thai bank account, as it can be challenging to open one without a long-term visa.

i guess the best way these days is to apply abroad for a non-o. then come to thailand, open a bank account, move the money, then apply for the 1 year extension.

If u do already have a thai bank acct u can apply for the initial 90days nonO marriage in thailand if u have more than 15days on your current entry stamp.....the reason most ppl apply for their nonO in their home country is because they don't have a thai acct which is almost impossible to open one without a long term visa...while applying in their home country they can use their home funds as proof

Yes, you can convert a visa exempt or a tourist visa into a Non-O while in country.
Yes, you need 15-30 days left on your current entry depending on the immigration office.
