Which is easier to obtain: a Non-B visa to Non-O or a Tourist visa to Non-O?
Please i like to know which is easier, non b visa to non O or tourist to non O?
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the ease of transitioning from a Non-B visa or a Tourist visa to a Non-O visa. It highlights that a Non-O visa is accessible under certain conditions, such as marriage to a Thai national or having a Thai child, which requires meeting specific financial criteria. One commenter notes that switching from Non-B to Non-O is not allowed, emphasizing the requirement to meet the criteria for obtaining a Non-O visa.

Then you could get a Non-O visa based on marriage or on supporting a half thai child. You would have to meet the financial requirements to get a yearly extension of stay for either of those reasons.
You can hold a work permit on a Non-O visa based on marriage or raising kids. Just go to a thai consulate in a nearby country and get a 90 day Non-O visa.

Len Manuel Arsenue I am sure if you post it here your question will be answered, as all of mine have. I also took the same approach here a while ago and posted a variation of the OP’s original question.. and was advised by admin to create my own post. I did and I got my answer, I hope you get yours. Good luck 😉

Len Manuel Arsenue He stated non b not extension of permission to stay. Interesting question though. Why don’t you just post it? 👍

sorry for hi-jacking your question but on a related question...
but if he is on an "extension of permission of stay" based on working, can he change his extension of permission of stay based on marriage?
