I Arrived From Australia With My Thai Wife ( No Kids ) On 60 Day Visa Exempt, Approached Immigration With 4 Weeks Remaining, They Gave Me 30 Day Visa Before I Could Apply For Non-O Visa. ( So My Understanding Is You Can't Apply For Non-O Whilst On Visa Exempt ).

, you can apply for an initial in-country Non-O visa within the 60 days on visa exempt entry no problem if you meet the requirements.

In My Case Immigration Told Me Non-O Visa Could Not Be Issued On Exempt Visa, Even Tho I Met All Requirements, Hence Making Me Get 30 Day Visa To Qualify.Then Non-O Was Issued Before That 30 Day Visa Expired.

If you are indeed here on a 60-day Visa exempt entry <- meaning you showed up with no Visa in your passport and you were stamped in free for 60 days and you're in Bangkok you get the 60 day visit Thai family extension at IT Square Laksi Plaza..
