Can I apply for a tourist visa while in Thailand if I have a work permit that will end soon?
Hi, is this possible to get a tourist visa while in Thailand with work permit(which gonna end in a month )
Answer summary
You cannot apply for a tourist visa while you are currently in Thailand with a valid work permit. Tourist visas must be obtained from outside of Thailand, and holding a work permit does not permit you to switch to a tourist visa while in the country.

You can’t get a tourist visa within Thailand. A tourist visa does not allow work, so you cannot hold a work permit, or work legally on one.
