ORIGINAL POSTERDoes anyone know if it’s possible to convert from Thai Elite visa to a non-B visa to get a work permit without leaving Thailand? I heard so far it’s required to fly out and come back in. Many thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses whether it is possible to convert a Thai Elite visa to a Non-B visa without leaving Thailand. The answer provided indicates that while you cannot convert an elite visa directly, it is possible to apply for a 90-day Non-B visa within the country as long as you currently hold a valid Thai Elite visa.

You just want a visa that will let you back in the country if you leave? Are they only letting people in with a work permit or special tourist visa?

you can get into the country on a 45 day visa exempt entry, or a 60 day tourist visa. Reply to

Do you have the Thai Elite visa now?
Are you now inside Thailand?
Or exploring options for you?
