can I change a 30-day exemption to 90-day non-o visa at CW

[DrJack54]

Yes. Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only?

You can indeed,
You need to GO out to Chaengwattana to Section C-1 and get the hand out listing the requirements for the 90 day Non-O visa for the reason you want to get it (retirement/marriage to a thai)

You also need a minimum of 15 days left on your current stamp (30 day visa exempt or 30 day extension on that) to apply because of the "under review" period 

You get the documentation together, you go apply, pay the 2000baht, get a receipt that has a date stamped 2 weeks out. On that date you go back and get the Non-O visa and new 90 day stamp inked into your passport
