GeKoSc Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Would it be possible to convert a visa on arrival to 1 year Non Immigrant Visa? A similar topic has been posted recently but I missed a more detailled reply and a clear YES or NO to this question.

BritTim Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 If you really mean "visa on arrival", the answer is NO. If you mean "visa exempt entry", the answer is YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, there was over 15 days left on your visa exempt entry, and you met the other criteria, this is a change in the rules. Several people have done it successfully in the past. For instance, https://www.renegadetravels.com/convert-thailand-visa-exempt-arrival-non-immigrant-visa/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have told you more than once that Udon immigration are not allowed to accept an application for the visa. You would have to make two trips to Bangkok 15 days apart to do it. Just cross the border at Nong Khai and go to the embassy to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
