Hello, I am looking to get a marriage visa. I deposited the money into my Thai account, am waiting for the 2 months that it needs to be in there to come up soon. I am struggling to find the paper work to apply and the location to apply though (in Bangkok.) I was wondering if anyone knew this info. I am currently on a Tourist Visa until November 27th, and would like to change to a Marriage Visa before then.

I am currently on an extension of stay (initially a non-B visa) based on my work permit (BOI). My job will end in late June, and my employer will cancel my work permit at that time. Then I change to a non-O retirement visa (CW, Bangkok).

I seems that some people managed to change their extension from work to retirement. So, I contacted immigration via email and received confirmation that this change is possible. They even sent me the application forms.

Knowing that time is critical once my work permit is canceled, I completed the forms and visited the immigration office today to ensure my documents were in order. However, the officer at the non-O retirement counter informed me that the extension cannot be converted. I have to leave the country, return as a tourist, and then apply for a new non-O retirement visa.

Well, that's not the news I was hoping for, but probably no choice. I wanted to check with the group: has anyone else experienced this? Did you have to leave the country, or were you able to convert a work extension to a retirement extension in the country?

Hello...does anyone have any experience of changing working visa to education visa without leaving the country? Thank you.
