Converting from OA visa to an O visa

[Mansell]

I am presently on an OA visa using a marriage extension which needs renewing in October. I will be getting divorced, and would like to convert to an O visa. My questions are: How do I do that, and is it possible without leaving the country?

Thanks guys, I would appreciate factual knowing only, and not opinions.

You can't convert in-country.  You can;

- leave and re-enter visa exempt, hopefully you do NOT have a re-entry permit.

- make sure you have THB800k in your bank.

- at immigration apply for single non-O based on retirement, gives a 90 day permission to stay.

- in the last 30 days apply for extension of stay based on retirement.

I did PM you a comprehensive Guideline document on how to do exactly that > it outlines the complete process (including all options) of getting rid of your current Non Imm O-A Visa or extension, and then apply for a Non Imm O Visa for reason of retirement.

This will be better in the Visa Forum.

Keep in mind the extension terminates upon divorce. It won't continue to be valid until October if divorced earlier.
