Can I leave Thailand on a volunteer visa and re-enter after applying for a tourist visa in Cambodia?

sent you a PM

So there is something the OP can take away, i left and came back because I knew my visa was being switched from a tourist to a non B anyways...BUT, if you have been here and want to come back, I strongly suggest getting the STV. This is for people who want to stay long term and not work.

You must get the visa that matches your intention.

Because if you were here during covid, you have already been here a long time, so for you to return is basically saying you want to be here a long time....though...you could argue that during covid there was nothing to see, I mean even after two years and the school being locked down I have seen almost nothing of Thailand.

So some really great things came out of this like, I found out my GF wants to marry me. She was on the phone talking with them when the agent suggested to me marriage but said you probably don't want to, and I said yes but she does t want to, and then my GF said wait I want too. So I proposed on the phone at the airport, not the most romantic but we cried for 5 hours after.

I'm going back to Canada, something I have put off for 8 years. Not sure if there is anything still there for me. I really have been working in China all this time, I was on vacation from China when I came here, not Canada.

My GF will try to get over her fear of flying and get the shot so she can come visit me.

And most important when I come back, if I come back, I'm I allowed to come back? I'll legally be able to do business in Thailand once the BOI company finishes applying for my non-B.

New passport? Lol! Ever heard about computers and biometrics? Maybe you also need new face and new fingerprints.

I had a volunteer visa that expired, I went to covid visa, left for the US for 5 weeks, came back no issues.

I did not try to leave on a volunteer visa with re-entry permit, I would be nervous. Going to get a new passport maybe extreme.
