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.🙏🏻

I’m currently in Thailand on an Education visa, but I’m now looking into the possibility of switching to a Non-O visa to follow family.

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with this kind of visa change specifically, is it possible to change visa status from an ED visa to a Non-O while staying inside Thailand, or would I need to leave the country and apply from abroad?

Also, if anyone knows a reliable agency that can assist with this process locally (preferably without having to exit the country), I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice.

Thanks so much in advance

I want to change my O-A to an O visa. Is it important that I cancel my current visa Extension first or can I just bounce across a border, get a 60 visa exemption stamp and let my current Extension lapse?

Hi. I was trying to book an appointment at Chaengattana for applying for a marriage visa but can't see that option in the drop-down menu on the government site. Unless it's 'visa issuing and changing type of visa' ? It says there's no fee involved for the latter. Any help/clarification much appreciated. Thanks.
