TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the process of changing a tourist visa to a Non-O retirement visa at the Chaengwattana immigration office in Bangkok. It asks for the necessary documents, the crowd situation at the office, the estimated duration for processing the visa if done independently, and resources for additional information. Comments provided suggest that documentation can vary based on the specific type of Non-O visa being applied for, and recommend booking a time slot online to avoid long waits.

Just talk to immigration. They actually know, and will help you if it is possible. They are not evil.

Helena Jin. Depends on which extension/visa you are seeking and which immigration office you use, as it varies. The best strategy is to visit the IO and request a list specific to your requirements prior to applying. That way you have a checklist of requirements.

What type of Non-O do you want. They will have differing documentation requirements
