Can a Burmese citizen apply for a Non-B visa after entering Thailand on a 14-day visa exemption?

hi santiago! i had a similar experience, so just sharing in case it’s helpful.

the thai consulate in vietnam wouldn’t take my ed visa docs because i’m from “xinjiang” (an occupied area in china). i came back to thailand on a 60-day visa exemption, extended for 30 days, and my language school prepped documents for me to apply here.

the process took about 21 days. if your company can prep the docs in advance and you can get an appointment to switch visa types, it should be possible within the 14+30 days.

hope this helps!

1 option is to come with the 14 days exemption visa first.

Then after getting required documents, you can either go out to Cambodia or Laos for Non-B again.

Is Burmese citizens not permitted on 60-day visa exempt?

No, not really it would work.

You need to have more than 15 days minimum (more at some offices) remaining with the tourism entry stamp for you to be able to apply for an in-country initial Non-B visa.

Burmese on a 14-day entry stamp can apply for a 30-day extension, but it's not for tourism purposes, it's based on the Embassy's request.

I have never heard someone can apply for an in-country visa with an extension based on an embassy request (except special cases during the early stage of Covid chaos), you need to check with the local immigration office whether it's possible.
