I have a question and please can someone help me. I am on a non b visa that is valid until the 2nd of May 2020. My employer has cancelled my work permit and teachers license therefore I need to revert back to a tourist visa. Can I go to immigration and get a tourist visa as everything is on lockdown. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The answer indicates that it is not possible to obtain a tourist visa from within Thailand while on a non B visa, especially during the lockdown period. The community suggests waiting for government announcements regarding immigration policies.

Sadly...all you can do is wait to see what action is taken April 30 by the Thai government.

And NO...you CANNOT obtain a tourist visa inside Thailand.

Sorry...wish we could be more helpful. But many face a situation like yours now in Thailand.

What do you mean by "the employer cancelled your work permit"?

what I mean is that I didn't meet the probation requirements and the school was in the process of getting my work permit. All documentation was ready and then they halted everything.
