Dear group, is it possible to change from a Non Immigrant B visa to a tourist visa or long stay visa without leaving Thailand? Also, is there a grace period (after the termination of your contract) to stay in Thailand and plan the move? Thanks a lot,
TLDR : Answer Summary
It is not possible to change from a Non Immigrant B visa to a tourist visa from within Thailand; you must leave the country for a tourist visa. However, there is a possibility to apply for a 60-day Covid extension until January 25, allowing you some time to plan your move. There is no grace period after your employment ends; your visa extension becomes void immediately upon termination of your work, and you must leave Thailand the day your employment ends unless you arrange a Covid extension in advance.
