ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it is a viable plan to switch to a Non-O visa by leaving Thailand just before your current visa expires and returning under visa exemption. You can go to immigration immediately after re-entry to apply for the Non-O visa, provided you meet the required conditions, which generally include having at least 14-21 days remaining on your current visa. Additionally, ensure that you have the necessary funds in your bank account as some immigration offices may require this to be in place two months prior to your application.
