I have a question regarding changing my visa-exempt stamp to Non O based on marriage. Has anyone had experience doing this within Thailand?

I have read mixed reviews on this, but it seems like this can be done at Chaeng Wattana.

I meet the requirements on documentation, but have also read that it’s not as plain sailing as it seems and can just be down to officer desecration on the day 🤔

Please help I need advice. I have a non-O spouse visa,  I applied for mine and my son(17) both non-O visa from the embassy in Laos. They granted my non-o visa, but they gave my son a tourist visa.. I was told in this group that with the tourist visa I could get the non-o without having to cross back into Laos.. but I went to immigration today(Nong Khai) and they told me they can’t do it.. they said I have to start over and do the e-visa again and go back to the embassy in Laos.. so my question is- is there something that I’m supposed to say or possibly go to a bigger immigration office(Udon Thani) please tell me how can I get his visa fixed without doing the whole process over again? I’ll add that he is the step child so my Thai husband isn’t on his birth certificate but I tried to explain that on the e-visa but it’s hard because there’s no way to message back and forth you just have to add it in when you send the documents. Thank you 🙏🏻

What is involved in changing from a DTV to a non o during the 5 year DTV period and is this allowed? Currently I am not in a position to move permanently but spend many months a year in Thailand. Thank you in advance for your advice. Kopkunkrap

Good day all. Some advise please. I am on Non OA but prefer to no on Non O, thought it was possible to do the change here in Thailand but IO today says I must apply outside Thailand. I am due to travel out next month for 2 months, back for 2 weeks then out again for 2 months

Should I wait and apply out of country if they have an embassy or is there another way to do this?

British national, Thai bank opened and 800k deposit done along with 1 month 65k plus deposit made.

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone here has experience changing from an ED visa to a Non-O visa (based on family, with a Thai child).

Can this change be done inside Thailand without needing to leave the country?

What steps did you take, and what documents were needed?

I’d really appreciate any advice or tips from those who’ve gone through this process. Thanks in advance!

Hi .i am on a non 0 retirement visa ,I’m 64 British .

I’m only 2 months into my 1 year extention but I now want to change to a DTV .

I know I need to leave Thailand ..will probably head to Vietnam .

So I just leave and don’t get a re entry visa ..correct ?

I can show the 500000 THB in my Thai bank ?

It takes about 10-14 business days to get approved from HCM ?

Thanks for any information to settle my mind

I’m currently stay with DTV but now I need to change the Guardian visa (Non O). Can I change visa within Thailand? Some people say that it can make within thailand and don’t need to go outside of the country.

If anybody knows about it, please share for me.

Thank you.🙏🏻
