My non-imm B visa expires on Jan 3, which will be 1 year since I entered Thailand. I got the visa from the online visa applicaiton through Thai embassy in the US. I will go back to the US at end of this year. Can I submit my online application for a new visa before I leave to go back to the US? Or do I need to be in the US from the moment I apply until, of course, i receive the new visa via email?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring whether they can submit an online application for a new non-immigrant B visa while still in Thailand before returning to the US. They are concerned about the need to be outside Thailand when applying. Comments from the community indicate that it is not possible to apply for a new visa online while in Thailand, and they will need to apply from the US once they return.
