Dear friends, is it possible to Switch my Tourist Visa based on Visiting my Thai Spouse, to Non Immigrant O spouse Visa while staying in Thailand, or it is mandatory to travel outside Thailand and apply for the Non O visa? Someone told me I can switch without leaving Thailand but still not sure, Experts please give advice. THANKS

Can you switch from a DTV to a Business Visa? My partner and I are planning to open a bar, but want to do a few months of intensive Thai language classes while we scope out locations and business partners before we actually need the business and spouse visa. Considering whether a tourist visa (exemption - Australian) or soft power DTV is wiser? All advice welcome.

Hello I am currently holding a Non-B visa with WP, but I am looking to switch to a marriage visa non-O.

My question is, can I make the change without having to leave the country.

I am okay if the WP expires or cannot be renewed. Thank you.

I’m new to the Thai visa process and recently applied for the Non-OA visa. While rereading the requirements for the LTR Visa: Wealthy Pensioners, I noticed that I may qualify. Is it possible and advisable to apply for multiple visas? The LTR visa is processed through Bangkok instead of the Thai embassy in the US, which is my case. Can I apply for the LTR Visa while residing in Thailand, or should I apply before leaving the US? It seems that either way is possible.

Is there any harm in applying for the LTR Visa, even if things don’t work out?

Hi guys and apologise if someone has asked this already. Do you know if you can switch visas from work permit to DTV? And if so, is it still required to leave the country? Thanks!

Is it possible to switch from a Non-B as a company owner to a DTV after dissolution of company? If so, should I apply while in the country or leave for a determined amount of time and apply while outside of the country?

Hi guys. I'm 45, from the UK and currently on a marriage visa. Thing is every year lots of paperwork and someone from immigration coming to the house and taking pictures. Was thinking a trip to say Vietnam, soft power Muay Thai option and get the DTV visa. Then read you can't get the DTV if you already have a visa. This true? If so how would I go about this please?
