Non B to Tourist visa

[Dfog]

Hi folks,

 

Myself and my partner are moving back to Europe in April and I am currently on a non b visa, but it will end in mid March.

 

My question is this, is it possible to convert my non b visa to a tourist visa from within Thailand?

 

I have been faced with this situation before (pre Covid) and simply walked across the Cambodian border in Surin before reentering Thailand on a tourist visa for 3 weeks before moving back home. Obviously this is a bit more tricky now days so so was wondering if there is an alternative method.

 

I am based in Bangkok.

 

Thanks in advance.

You cannot change to a tourist visa without leavening the country.

If available you may be able to apply for a 60 day covid 19 extension.
