Alan *******
Two hours minimum, depends on whether there is a bottleneck at the immigration desk.

Can I convert my tourist visa to a Non-O visa in Thailand or should I leave the country first?
Alan *******
Immigration requires 14-21 days to process a non-O application, so you don’t have enough time left on your current visa. I think you need a border bounce.

Hmmm... I just did a border bounce, I’m on a one year lease. Really, a new TM 30?

I don’t even know how to do that, my landlord doesn’t live here
