Is it possible to switch a non-b to a non-o without leaving the country?

A friend of mine had a job offer that initially got him a non b visa, over the course of the three months he had a baby and the job offer fell through.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Are you married to a Thai?

Or father named on a Thai child's birth certificate?

He will need to go to Thai immigration for sure before his current permission to stay expires next week.

It might be best to ask for a 60 days COVID extension...

Then at end of it...

If no job...seek a 60 days family visit extension...

Followed by Non O as support of Thai child...

Which will require 400,000 Thai baht in his name only Thai bank account.

Key question today is whether he is on a legal extension of stay from his Non B job..

Which he left some time ago ???

I wish him Good Luck

Get to Thai Immigration ASAP.
