Work permit noob question: If you want to convert from a tourist visa to a visa supporting a work permit, do you have to leave the country?
Did have a look around and fairly certain the answer is yes! But would love a confirmation.
Thanks in advance!
PS: Hope you're all coping reasonably with the situation.
TLDR : Answer Summary
You can convert a tourist visa to a work permit visa at an authorized immigration office in Thailand without the need to leave the country, provided you meet the necessary requirements and your employer supplies the necessary documents.
