Hello. If I'm on a Non B work visa and I process the DTV soft power... do I need to cancel the non B visa first? I don't want to cancel it if I get rejected for the DTV Visa. Thank you 🙏
Answer summary
The process of applying for a DTV visa while on a Non B work visa can be complex. It is generally advised that you cannot hold two visas simultaneously. If you are indeed on a Non B visa rather than an extension of stay, you must wait for it to expire, as it cannot be canceled. However, if you are on an extension of stay associated with a work permit, you would need to cancel your work permit first, then present documentation of its cancellation to immigration in order to cancel your extension before applying for the DTV visa. There have been cases where applicants were asked to cancel their current visa before processing the DTV application.

You cannot work for clients or companies located in Thailand with the DTV visa.

You now have a Thai work permit...

Are you going to be doing any work for the company that sponsored the work permit ?

Are you actually on a Non-B visa or on an extension of stay? Look in your passport. If you are actually on a visa you need to wait for it to expire, you can't cancel it and you can't simultaneously hold 2 visas. If you are on an extension of stay you should cancel your work permit then take the document showing you've cancelled your work permit to immigration to cancel your extension of stay, then go apply for the DTV
