Hi can anyone advise on the easiest way to convert a non-O resident visa (dependent) to a work permit? I have a job offer here in Thailand and am wondering what options I have and how best to proceed… btw I’m a Uk citizen. thanks in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
To convert a non-O resident visa (dependent) to a work permit in Thailand, the process typically involves obtaining a non-B visa, as you cannot convert between non-immigrant visa types directly. Most expats find it simpler to apply for a non-B visa at a nearby consulate or embassy, with their employer providing necessary documentation for the application. Internal conversion from a non-O to non-B may be possible but requires more documentation and may not be accepted by all immigration offices.
