ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone,

I’m currently on a Non-ED+ visa (from university) since 2022. I’ve just graduated and recently found a job, so now I’m planning to apply for a Non-B visa at the Thai Embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Does anyone here have experience with that embassy and the Non-B application process?

Also, do I need to cancel my current extension before going to Vietnam, or can I just proceed with the new application directly?

Any advice or shared experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you so much in advance! 🙏

Don't you have Non-ED Plus? Non-ED Plus allows you to transfer to Non-B visa if you find a job in Thailand after graduating.
