HI,

I believe it is possible to change a tourist visa into a Non-Im O at the immigration office - has anybody succeded in doing this?

If they won't do it, where would be the best place/country to get one from please?

Cheers,

jeff

You will get far more information & responses on the 'Visa & Immigration Forum'

In the past it was impossible to change a tourist visa to a non-imm while still inside Thailand. But these days I hear of people getting the non-imm while in Thailand. Not sure is that is true ??? Why not ask at your closest Immigration Office.

Cannot offer advice to change to a non-O only but at Jomtien (Pattaya) if you are going to get a retirement visa you can get a non-O in the process of changing directly from a 30 day VOA to retirement. I am assuming it is to following the regs for getting a retirement visa.
