Hi everyone, some advice please... does anyone know of a way to convert an extended Non-B visa into a tourist visa from inside the country? I paid for the 30 day extension just before the amnesty started and was told yesterday at Phang Nga that they could only give me the final two days extra (closing the loop as advised in previous posts). They told me that another extension isn't possible now the amnesty is in force.
I have managed to find a job in a new province, but it seems I need to change to a tourist visa to begin training: apparently switching one job to another isn't possible once I fall under the amnesty visa group... If anyone has any knowledge to confirm or deny this information I'd be grateful too as I really don't understand the processes.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on converting an extended Non-B visa into a tourist visa while in Thailand. They recently encountered complications regarding their visa status due to the amnesty period and have questions about their options, primarily whether they can change visa types domestically and what effects their current visa has on job opportunities.
