Quick question...to get a Non-O volunteer visa, one can either get that prior to their initial entry into Thailand, OR, they can come in on a tourist visa and then convert to the Non-O volunteer in-country, that right, or no?

Hi

I am Canadian,63 years old,will go to Thailand on 60 days tourist visa.When in Thailand will convert tourist visa into non O retirement visa.I will use affidavit of income from Canadian consulate in Bangkok to prove my finances.

When do I need to show this affidavit?

1) when applying for my first non O visa

2) my first extension of non O visa (90 days after receiving non O visa))

3) when applying AND than when extending my first non O visa.

If it is #3, timing of getting affidavit will be very important since affidavit from Canadian consulate is valid for only 90 days.

( I contacted them) Thank you

Hi all, i am in Thailand with a normal 30 days tourist visa and a big company in Bangkok want to employe me as a tunnelling specialist for several projects: how i can do to apply for a working visa if this company give me all requered documents like an invitation letter ecc? Do i have to exit the country or i can switch the tourist visa to working visa directly here in Thailand?

Does anyone have a cheat sheet for converting a tourist visa to Non O > Retirement extension? US passports.

And then the process for my wife who is under 50 to come in as a dependent?

I'm almost more confused after coming back from the immigration office in Bangkok. I have the money deposited, They need an official letter from Bangkok Bank stating that the money came from overseas and said I should go to the Silom branch? I went to a different branch previously and they were confused by what I was asking for.

I'm assuming that once I have the retirement extension that's when I need to leave the country with my wife and visit the embassy and apply for her dependent visa, correct?

Hi

If someone changes Tourist to Non O....when does 90 day report start? As there were no 90 day reports on tourist visa.

Does anyone have the experience of converting the Tourist Visa to Guardian Visa- Non Immigrant O ?

How much does it cost?

And which is the best agency to do it?

Please help me and recommend.

Thanks 😊

We tried to convert our tourist visa to a non-O visa at Maesai for retirement visa but we're told they can't do it for South Africans. Are there any retired South Africans out there that can help?

I have a friend who wants a 1 year Thai visa with a work permit. How can he apply for a visa? Here too tell me the information

So I’m seeing conflicting advice–I’m applying to convert 60 day tourist visa from USA to non-O retirement at Chaengwattana. I’ve had the ฿800K in Thai bank for just a few days. It’s been in us bank prior. My visa expires 13 December, I’ve booked r/t flight to Hong Kong for around 11-15 December. Can I apply for non O now or do I need to wait till money seasoned 60 days-either apply fir another tourist visa in HK or get visa exemption when I return from HK?

Hello everyone! Does anyone here have any experience converting a tourist visa into a Non-b in Chiang Mai? Do you need to hand in your passport with the other documentation for those 21 days or can you take it there afterwards to get the visa stamp?
