Can you change a visa exempt to a Non O when in Thailand? Or do you need to get a 60 day Tourist visa and change that?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The question asks whether it is possible to convert a visa exempt status to a Non O visa while already in Thailand, or if it is necessary to first obtain a 60-day tourist visa. Additional comments inquire about the purpose of the Non O visa, which suggests that the type of Non O visa might depend on the reason for staying.

retirement.. He meets all the requirements.. 800k etc.. Just need to know if he can enter on visa exempt and make it happen same as 60 day tourist visa.
Got my Non-O once in Thailand (2018) : 1. Entry on "ENTRY EXEMPT" (30 days), 2. then applied for "EXTENSION" (30 days). 3. About 20 days before the expiry of this extension, applied for the "Non-O", got it (valid for 3 months), 4. About 3 weeks before expiry of Non-O, applied for "One Year Extension based on Retirement". To extend every year if requirements still met (finance, lease contract, etc.). If you travel outside Thailand, you must ask for a "Reentry Permit" (otherwise you lose your "One Year Extension". Hope this helps. ;-)
