afm171 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I've been in Thailand for a few years on a Retirement Visa, but now I have a company that wants to hire me but only if I go onto a work visa with them. Are there any issue switching from a retirement visa to work visa? Or issues switching back if things don't work out? I want to avoid any need to leave the country as I have a wife and kid to take care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 You cannot change your non-o visa entry to a non-b visa without leaving the country. You could change the reason for your extension of stay from retirement to working for a company. The biggest obstacle is getting a work permit application done to obtain a work permit application approval letter that would be required to do the change. Changing back to a extension based upon retirement would not be a problem. If you are married to a Thai and had a extension based upon marriage you could get the work permit with that type of extension without a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
