Hello guys! Can I change from Non-B to Non-O without leaving Thailand?
I'm currently on a Non-B visa but would like to resign from my job and switch to a Non-O (marriage) visa since I'm getting married to a Thai national. Does anyone know if it's possible to do this within Thailand, or would I need to leave and apply from abroad?
Also, if anyone has gone through this process recently, I'd appreciate any advice on the required documents and timeline. Thanks in advance!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the possibility of switching from a Non-B visa to a Non-O visa (marriage visa) while remaining in Thailand. Respondents suggest that switching might not be feasible if on an initial 90-day Non-B visa, as one would typically need to leave Thailand to apply for a new visa. However, if the individual is on a work extension, it may be possible to apply for a marriage extension by checking with the immigration office. Key documentation, including proof of funds, will be necessary.
