ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all. I know it is possible to convert a 60-day SETV into an Education or Work visa in Bangkok but is it possible to convert a visa exempt (30 days on arrival)  to a Study/Work visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post inquires whether it is feasible to convert a visa exempt entry (30 days on arrival) into a Study or Work visa in Thailand, similar to the conversion of a 60-day SETV.
