Thank you @OJAS for your very appreciated information. I have been switching the passports in the past when this could be done at Vientiane within just two business days. At Jomtien I always have been using the 800k option without having any problems. A for me very interesting idea is to enter the Kingdom on a visa exempt and apply here for a Non-O conversion. Do you happen to know if Jomtien is eligible again to do the conversion? I remember many years ago just the immigrations at Chang Wattana and Hat Yai were.

12 years ago. Now it is Jomtien.

So I understand that the embassy in Phnom Pehn is the fastest, processing a Non-Imm-O Visa. Are there any other positive recent reports from neighboring countries?

I don't feel comfortable staying in Thailand without a valid passport with an allowance of stay.

Having a dual citizenship I need to renew my Caribbean passport this year. I'm living in Thailand on an EoS (retirement) based on a Non-Imm-O Visa which is in the Caribbean passport. Since this passport has to 'travel' for maybe more than 60 days for renewal, I would like to switch to my European passport first and apply for a Non-Imm-O Visa at one of the Thai embassies or consulates in the neighboring countries. I meet the requirements for a Non-Imm-O Visa and an Extension of Stay. Some time ago I was able to complete this process within two days, but I'm aware that the rules have changed. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

With Bitkub I have only good experiences. It's very easy to transfer THB from or into your Thai bank account.

I have been buying Bitcoin and some stable coins at Bitkub. THB transfer by Thai banks into Bitkub was never a problem. Of course Bitkub is doing KYC.

I've been to both of them and think they're both good. Samitivej is a little better organized IMO.

Is an online appointment for Chonburi/Jomtien Immigration available too?

Meeting Point is good too, but closes at 20:00. Another place to mention is Jaybees on the Eastside. https://maps.app.goo.gl/4RpJ2ptLRmt6ZXjJA

At least not regularly.

Bei Gerhard and Borussia Park. Both in Naklua.

For my progressive lenses I visit an optometrist. My readers are from Mr. DIY.

I was able to do mine by postal mail recently. (Jomtien)
