Hi, I have already done some research in this group for Non O dependent visa (foreigner child studying here, (we are both American) I will accompany him). However I am already currently in Thailand so do I need to leave Thailand again in order to switch from the 60 day Tourist Visa to the Non O visa or can I apply inside of Thailand with all needed documentation and proof and go the immigration here? I have seen mixed things on this. Thank you.

You will see mixed answers as each immigration office may require different things. Some you will be able to switch in country to a Non O guardian visa without leaving the country.

Others may require to to enter on a Non O and then get your year extension.

Ask your office for their policy

Okay and since I am already in Thailand I would get the information from the immigration office in Chang Watthana correct? Immigration Division 1
