Gabe H Coud Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Has anyone converted from annual to 5 year O-X? How was the process and how do I start it? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqwakvfr Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 There is no conversion. One must apply for the Non OX from an overseas Thai Embassy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was the process and how do I start it? TIA Why would you? OX is a 5 year visa where you have to put 3m in a Thai bank and then requalify at immigration each year for 5 years when you can extend for another 5 years and that's it. Why not put 800k in a bank for a Non O retirement extension and "requalify" each year with no limit?. OX is a complete hassle. https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/20.Non-Immigrant-Visa-O-X.pdf Edited July 5, 2023 by mokwit 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pib Posted July 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2023 If you qualify you would probably be better off getting a 10 year LTR Wealthy Pensioner visa which is issued in two 5 year increments....no annual renewal...just the extension process to get the 2nd 5 years. You can apply for an LTR visa in or outside Thailand....if approved for the LTR visa you simply cancel your current visa and then the LTR visa is inked into your passport.
