Hello, can i convert my visa on arrival to a non immigrant work visa if i get a job once i enter Thailand?

Summary so far

The possibility of converting a visa on arrival to a non-immigrant work visa is uncertain. Visas on arrival generally provide a short duration of stay (15 to 30 days), which may be insufficient for the conversion process. Typically, obtaining a non-immigrant work visa (Non-B) requires applying at a consulate outside of Thailand with documentation from a prospective employer.

With visa on arrival you only get 15 days (30 after October 1st). Almost certainly you won’t have time to convert (not 100% sure you even could). Most instances require you to go to a nearby consulate and apply for a non B visa there with supporting documentation from your new employer.

I'll go after October and that could give me 30 days of stay so i would have the time to convert it into a work visa.

It will be between your new employer and the immigration department to work out. Getting a non B in Thailand requires vastly more paperwork than one from a consulate.

Not sure if visas on arrival can be converted or not.

If they can then you need to speak to your employer as it will be dependent upon them and the immigration office.
