Hi just a quick question my non b expires next week can I just exit at Cambodia and do the arrival visa online and come back on a tourist visa ? Does it have to be by plane or land I've not had to do the online arrival before is it easy ?

Answer summary
The user is inquiring if they can leave Thailand for Cambodia as their non-B visa expires soon, and if they can return on a tourist visa using an online application. Responses indicate that if the user is on a standard non-B visa, they can leave and return visa-exempt if their nationality qualifies. However, if they are on a work extension, they must cancel their work permit and extension before exiting. It's important to clarify that there's no online visa option for re-entry unless applying at a Thai embassy. Users recommended filling out the TDAC form upon return and advised against using the Poipet crossing.

You need to cancel your work permit and Visa extension. then you can exit the country there is no online visa for you unless you go to a Thai embassy You do have to fill in the TDAC form for arrival back in Thailand. Depending on your passport nation you may be eligible for a visa exempt entry stamp 60 days. Do not use the Poipet crossing.
Are you actually on a 90-day non-B visa or are you on an extension of stay? If you're on the visa, you can just leave and return visa exempt if your passport qualifies for that. You won't be returning with a tourist visa unless you apply for and pay for one from a Thai embassy while you're out of Thailand.
If you're on a work extension (the stamp in your passport says extension of stay) then you need to get paperwork from your employer that states your last day of work and take that to cancel your work permit and then your work extension. You can do this 1-2 weeks ahead of time in most places. If you fail to do this then you're not abiding by the documents you signed stating you would notify immigration of any change in your status. That means you won't be able to get another long-term visa or extension in the future until you do cancel your work extension, and you'll be fined 500 baht per day up to a maximum of 20,000 baht when you go to cancel for failing to do so on time.
