30 day entry + emerg extn. Can I convert to O visa?

[Goldbear]

Hi. I'm here on a 30 day visa exempt entry (arr 17 Mar from Sri Lanka) and now, of course, I'm on an emergency extension.

 

I want to know if I can convert that, inside Thailand, to an O visa so that I can get a retirement extension.

 

I had a retirement extension last year. It's expired now. I'd planned to spend most of 2020 outside of Thailand. Covid changed that.

 

I saw someone comment about not being able to change visas because there wasn't 15 days left on the regular entry.

 

Thanks very much.
