TLDR : Answer Summary
To change employers while holding a Non-B visa, it is crucial to first check if your current visa includes your employer's name. If the visa is tied to a specific employer, you will need to apply for a new visa. However, if there is no employer's name attached, you may be able to change employers without cancelling your current visa. Additionally, if you hold an Extension of Stay, you must report to Immigration every 90 days and may need to cancel it to apply for a new visa.

It depends on your visa. If you're inside Thailand on the actual visa and doing border runs every 90 days and your visa sticker has the name of your employer on it, you need a new Visa, if no name of employer you can change. If you are on an Extension of Stay, report every 90 days at Immigration you need to cancel this and apply for a new Visa.

Changes of the Ministry of Labor has no effect on the Immigration rules, two total different offices. Immigration did not announce any change of rules.

Do you, or does anyone else, happen know if the recent changes with respect to visa regulations (being able to work in multiple roles, at any address, etc.) have affected this at all?
