TLDR : Answer Summary

The user has a 60-day tourist visa with a possible 30-day extension, totaling 90 days, but wishes to stay in Thailand for 180 days. A comment suggests applying for the Special Tourist Visa (STV) in their home country, which allows for a stay of up to 270 days and cannot be extended beyond that, nor changed to any other visa within Thailand.

Get the STV visa in your home country...

Gives you up to 270 days stay...9 months in Thailand.

It cannot be extended beyond the 270 days and cannot be changed into any other visa inside Thailand.

But for what you want to do...its good for you.

Are you married to Thai

Or father of a Thai child?

Louise Morresey Yes, you can leave Thailand before the in-country Non-O visa based on whatever reason expires.

Of course, that depends if the immigration office you're using will sell the in-country Non-O visa.

John M Jom if you need to change visas then you have chosen correctly. You cannot change from an STV. Good luck 😉

John M Jom be aware you cannot change the STV to ANY other visa, in country. If that's what you want to do, you need a different visa.

John M Jom , STV is "Special Tourist Visa". Did you check the "Tourist Visa" category?
