Inquiry for DTV visa cancellation process
I’m planning to apply for a Non-Immigrant B visa for work.
Currently, I hold a DTV visa issued by the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
I’ve tried to check the DTV cancellation process:
♦️I asked immigration officers in Chiang Mai, but they said they aren’t fully sure. They told me my DTV will be automatically cancelled when I enter Thailand with a new visa from outside the country.
♦️I also emailed the Phnom Penh Thai Embassy for clarification but haven’t received any reply.
⚠️Recently, I applied for a Non-B visa in Laos, but my application was cancelled (as shown in the screenshot).
They said "my passport bio page image was unclear, even after I re-submitted it in JPEG format.
and in addition you still have DTV and IB visa issued from Thailand Embassy in Phnom Penh.Please contact them to cancel them before you entering Thailand with a new visa. "
Is there anything I can do here in Laos to resolve the DTV visa issue, without needing to travel back to the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh for cancellation?
But Phnom Penh Thailand embassy hasn’t replied to my emails, and I am currently in Laos.
For context, my visa history is:
1st Non-B → then DTV in cambodia, Phnom Penh→ now applying for Non-B in Laos, Vientiane.
So I’m wondering:
👉 Has anyone experienced the same issue when switching from DTV to Non-B visa?
👉 Is there anything I should prepare or be careful about regarding the DTV cancellation or passport submission before applying my non b visa again ?
Any information or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you! 🙏
