Suppose as

@Robert ******

said. It's a matter of trying it out. If it doesn't work in one place, it might work tomorrow at the other counter with different staff. So very interested how you get on

That's the thing, I don't work ;-) I just sit here on the PC, look movies, meet friends. Make sure our staff works. I don't work but still have an income :-)

Yes please, keep us updated. I'd love to change too.

Since years I would love change my NON-B to a Retirement Visa (I do have the funds in the bank and a monthly income in Thailand) but. If I change in to Pension Visa, I can't get a WP and have a monthly income in Thailand.

So, I have to stay on my NON-B as long as I want to earn money within Thailand.

I am definitely confused now. Immigration says one thing, Labour office says something else. For sure, if you earn an income from work in Thailand, you need a work permit. Yeah? No problem on that.

Non-immigrant ‘O’ visas are acceptable for work permit applications and are for any foreigner married to or supporting a dependent Thai National.

Normally though, any foreigner wishing to conduct business in Thailand would have a Non-immigrant 'B' visa.

The only one who said about NON-B is the Foreign Workers Administration Office.

Just checking all my files and wherever I look, it just says NON immigrant, no O or B mentioned.

So thanks for some "further education" ;-)

I never heared of that, doen't mean it doesn't exist.

@Tod ********

might enlighten me/us ;-)

You can apply for a NON-O if you have a monthly income from abroad, or sufficient funds in your Bankaccount. But in order to have a work permit, you need a NON-B visa
