ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When extending a Non-OA visa by transferring 800,000 THB into a Thai bank, the visa status does not automatically change to a Non-O. The extension is processed based on the original Non-OA visa, which requires maintaining specific conditions like mandatory insurance. To switch from a Non-OA to a Non-O visa, one would need to leave Thailand and reapply at a local embassy or enter visa-exempt and convert within the country.
