How can I cancel my DTV visa to apply for a Non-Immigrant B visa in Thailand?

DTV Visa Non-Immigrant B Visa Visa Cancellation Changing Visa Types Visa Process in Thailand Immigration Procedures

ORIGINAL POSTER

I secured a job in Bangkok, and now I want to cancel my DTV visa so I can apply for a Non-Immigrant B (work) visa. I left Thailand a few days ago and returned to the country where I originally got my DTV visa approved.

I contacted the embassy 3 days ago, but I haven’t received any response yet. According to my employer, I need to cancel the DTV visa, return to Thailand on a tourist visa, and then they will help me switch to a Non-B visa.

Do you have any suggestions or advice on how to proceed? I would appreciate any help.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user wants to cancel their DTV visa after securing a job in Bangkok and switch to a Non-Immigrant B visa. They have not received a response from the embassy regarding their cancellation request. Responses suggest that the DTV visa cannot be cancelled so easily and recommend either changing the visa type within Thailand with assistance from the employer or applying for the Non-B visa outside of Thailand, then re-entering.

A visa can not be cancelled, and the embassy won't issue another visa while you hold an active visa. However if your employer is willing to jump through the paperwork hoops to get you a Non-B inside Thailand the DTV can be changed for another visa type at an immigration office inside Thailand in exactly the same way as tourist or visa exempt entry can be (it's basically just a glorified tourist visa)

I personally don't think that DTV visa holders have the privilege to change to a Non-B Visa. I think the best option for you is to leave the country, apply for your new visa, and re-enter with that visa. The DTV visa will either be automatically cancelled or can be cancelled later. Immigration officers are the best people to answer that—wait a few more days for a clear response.
