TLDR : 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?

You cannot switch the category of visa from Non-B to Non-O :/

What is the reason you'd qualify for a Non-O visa?
