Can I convert my NON-O retirement visa to an O-X visa while in Thailand?
Is it possible to covert NON-O retirement to O-X visa inside Thailand?
Answer summary
Yes, it is possible to convert a NON-O retirement visa to an O-X visa within Thailand. To do so, individuals should contact their local immigration office to obtain the specific requirements needed for the O-X visa. According to the Los Angeles Thai Consulate, foreigners who enter Thailand with different types of visas or visa exemptions may also be eligible to apply for a Non-O-X visa through the Immigration Bureau.

f Here's the information you need
(of course, contact your local immigration office for more details about their specific requirements)

The Non-OX visa is a 10 year multiple entry visa ("sticker"). Only a handful of countries qualify for this visa. This is one of the few visas that are sold inside Thailand. This is a retirement visa (50+ years old), and you also have to show a lot of money in a bank account as well.

Vincent Vanmilingen, and that is what google is for. :) although people posted links to the various consulates that have it on their websites

Piet de Keizer I tried to find the link to where it said it's sold inside the country but I couldn't :( I know when it rolled out you COULD get it inside or outside thailand BUT you might indeed be right, and it's only available in your country before you come here now..
I can't find that MFA link that says how to get it in thailand :(

Piet de Keizer Okay, lets sort this out. you CANNOT apply for an O-A visa inside the country
You CAN apply for an O-X visa inside the country and it is NOT an extension with a re-entry permit. it is a 5 year multiple entry visa STICKER that the immigration office puts in your passport and after 5years you go to the immigration office and they put a new 5 year O-X multiple entry visa sticker in AND you get stamped in for 5 years on every entry..
