LarryLEB Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 In the recent medical insurance discussions online, some have suggested changing one's visa from OA to O. Have any of you in ThaiVisaForumLand actually submitted this form (TM 86, specifically). Were you successful in changing your OA visa to O? And. were you able to do one-year retirement extensions afterwards? Any comments on your experience would be appreciated! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 You can only do a change of visa status from tourist visa to a non immigrant O visa entry. See: https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 You can only change the type of visa. You can’t change the category of non-immigrant visa. You would need to leave the country and apply for a Non O at an embassy/consulate outside of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
