ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello,

I am from the UK and have changed schools and my old Non B Visa and work permit was cancelled so I'm on a covid extension visa now until March 30th until I get all my paperwork for my new school ready.. Can I just exit the country on March 30th and do a quick 1 night trip to Cambodia or somewhere close and come back in on a tourist visa of 30 days and then go to Chaengwattana to apply for my new non b visa ?... Or do I need to get a 60 day tourist visa before I come back in to apply at chaengwattana? Thnaks for any tps and advice 🙏

Alternative, let the school prepare the documents and apply for the Non Immigrant B visa while abroad.

You have to discuss with your school and with your local Immigration Office if you all are able to meet the requirements to convert your Visa Exempt Entry into a Non Immigrant B visa.
