We were just refused conversion from 30 days on arrival to Non-IMM O at Samui Immigration Office. We used to live here until 2019, left for family reasons and have just come back. We thought we could convert to Non-IMM O here and thereafter do annual extensions as before but Samui Immmigration point-blank refused and said Non-IMM O can only be done at an embassy.
Does anyone have a suggestion? if we have to leave the country again, does anyone have any experience of getting Non-IMM O in a neighbouring country and if so, which country might be best, and what documents do they require? Thanks in advance
