Can I Convert a Non-Immigrant O-A Visa to a Non-Immigrant B Visa for a Work Permit in Thailand?
Hello, is possible to convert an non Immigrant O-A (retirement) to an non immigrant b for a working permit? Italian passport and Visa expires on 30 may 2020
Answer summary
It is not possible to convert a Non-Immigrant O-A visa (retirement) directly to a Non-Immigrant B visa for a work permit. The individual must exit Thailand and then re-enter on either a 30-day visa exempt entry or a 60-day tourist visa. After re-entry, they can apply for a 90-day Non-B visa by providing employment documentation at the immigration office, provided that office accepts in-country visa conversions. Alternatively, they can obtain a 90-day single-entry Non-B visa from a Thai consulate after leaving the country.

there is no way to do that.
You'd have to leave the country on the O/A visa and either come in on a 30 day visa exempt or a 60 day tourist visa. After that you would sue documentation from the employer and apply for a 90 day Non-B visa at the immigration office IF the immigration office you use can do in country conversions to Non-Immigrant Type visas.
Otherwise you just leave the country on your O-A visa and go to a thai consulate to buy a 90 day single entry Non-B visa with the documentation from the company that is gonna hire you.
