TLDR : Answer Summary

To change a Non-O retirement visa to a Non-B working visa in Thailand, it is essential to first obtain the Non-B visa before applying for a work permit. The process can be described as straightforward, but it requires following the correct legislative procedures.

the WP3 form is issued first in order to get the non B..my question is can a non O be switched to a non B in country or will leaving the country be the only option available?

Ask your employer as they prepare the documentation and an in country Non-B usually requires much more documentation than one from abroad
