No you do not have to leave the country to apply for a non-o visa.

You would extend the 90 day entry from the visa,. Visas are not extended.

Do you know, does this apply only to retirement and marriage - any way to apply for (convert from tourist MEV to ) a Non O visiting child visa at immigration in country?? Thanks.

OP: Please report back on whether:

 - They date your 30-day extension from the date you applied - not from when your last stamped permitted-stay (60-days) ran out (would be useless, if the latter)
 - They allow you to apply for the Non-O 90-day from this
 - If they make issues about you using income proven by embassy-letter to apply for the Non-O 90-day

 

This info can help others with similar situations.

On my request he opened a thread on the Forum sharing the experience with his successful application for the benefit of other TVF members in similar situation.

If on a visa exempt or tourist visa entry (or the 30 day extension of one) you can apply for a 90 day non immigrant visa (category O) visa at immigration.

Requirements for the application is here. http://bangkokimmigration.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/06-edit_NON-O.pdf
