Can I convert my Non-B visa in Thailand if I don't have it when I arrive?
I am currently in Philippines for a non im B visa for Thailand. My flight back is 19 and how long could i expect the process to take. If i fly to Thailand whitout non B visa do i need to repeat the whole process again or can i convert to non B visa in Thailand?
Answer summary
The user is currently in the Philippines holding a Non-Immigrant B (Non-B) visa for Thailand and is inquiring about the expected processing time for the visa. They also want to know if they can travel to Thailand without the Non-B visa and whether they can convert to a Non-B visa after arriving in Thailand. Comments suggest that converting a Non-B visa in Thailand may require company support and involves a lot of paperwork, with mixed experiences provided by others.

I converted my non b in Thailand for my company with my lawyers. Didn’t have to leave. It cost a lot though.

That's something you need to ask your company, not Facebook. You can only convert to non-B in Thailand if your company supports it, and most don't. It requires a truly massive amount of paperwork and many companies cannot provide that level of paperwork or they simply won't do it because it's so easy to get from the Thai embassy.
