**Switching to Non O-X?
**Hello, reading this group yesterday I discovered that there is a Non O-X visa available.
I do have financial availability, and I would like to ask the following.
If money is not an issue, is it worth changing from Non-O (Retirement) to Non-O-X? What are the main advantages/disadvantages.
Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the benefits and drawbacks of switching from a Non-O (Retirement) visa to a Non-O-X visa in Thailand. The Non-O-X visa offers a long-term stay of up to ten years with a multi-entry benefit, but it requires meeting specific financial criteria and involves yearly checks at immigration, which may be a hassle compared to the annual extension process of a Non-O retirement visa. Some users highlighted that the conversion process is not straightforward and typically requires exiting the country to apply for the Non-O-X visa.
