What documents are required to change my tourist visa to a Non-Immigrant O visa in Chiang Mai?
Good afternoon,
I am visiting Chiang Mai with tourist visa and I have only one month vacation. I want to change my visa to Non-immigrant O visa. I have some questions about the required documents:
1- Do I need a tenancy contract for one year or just TM30 registration receipt from a hotel room with one month period of stay?
2- is one month enough for the process to get the 90 days Non-immigrant O visa?
Thank you so much for your help

Answer summary
A user is seeking assistance on transitioning from a tourist visa to a Non-Immigrant O visa while in Chiang Mai. They inquire about the necessity of a tenancy contract versus a TM30 registration receipt, and whether one month suffices for the visa processing. Community responses highlight the importance of having a Thai bank account with a minimum deposit of 800,000 THB, along with the necessity of a rental agreement and TM30 paperwork. Users emphasize that one month can be a tight timeline and recommend contacting the local Immigration office for precise guidance.

Thank for your information, I really appreciate it.Nongnuch ********
one month is only just enough if you manage to open a Thai bank account in the first few days and have a minimum of 15 working days (24 days) left on your "admitted stay" stamp. The requirements for a change from a visa-exempt or a Tourist Visa, to a 90-days Non-Imm-O retirement visa, are clear, and they require banked money (800.000.- THB or an income affidavit of monthly income of minimum 65.000.- THB) and a lease or rental contract. And of course a proper TM30. It is all listed on this pdf. document from Immigration:

many thanks for the informationKool *******
The main requirement is that you have a Thai bank account in your name only, and that you have transferred bt800,000 into it from an overseas source. If you don't have this then nothing else matters.
