Edit:

Saw that the COVID extensions and some of the convenience factors of visa renewals were rolled back, so question answered: visa run required.

——————

Have a friend of mine that is transitioning from an existing Non-O (volunteer) to another non-o (teacher) and told she has to switch to tourist first.

Are they not allowing this done in-country anymore? It’s been a minute since I checked the latest and greatest from the great ‘Taw Maw’.

Thanks!

Is this a legitimate volunteer visa? Or one of those fake agency "volunteer" visas?

Leaving the volunteer visa, and yes, it was an actual one.

Teacher is non-B, not non-O

I'm not familiar with that one. I was under the impression that any paid work required a non-B. Perhaps someone else in the group is more familiar with this
