i believe you can only request a non immi B if you have a letter from the company thats going to hire you. so now that you're just looking for a job, you're fine on the 'O'. and you cannot change sub-type of visa w/in ctry i.e. you have to travel outside of thailand to get one then come back and extend it at a later time when required. hope i help. i can give you a website (forum) that has full details on all these and more ppl with expertise to answer your q's ... i don't think its appropriate for me to post the web address here so hit me up, happy to help. have a great day.

If it is a Non-imm O Retirement visa then follow the instructions of Negeshia. If it is a Non-imm O Thai Wife visa you can get a work permit without changing your visa.
