Hi:)

Has anyone here switched from a Non-B business visa to a DTV?

Just wondering if immigration makes it complicated or checks things more deeply, and how a re-entry permit on the Non-B affects the process.

Any experiences would be super helpful 🙏
Answer summary
The process of switching from a Non-B business visa to a DTV can be complicated. Once on a visa, cancellation is not possible; however, if on an extension of stay, one can cancel the work permit and proof of cancellation can be used at immigration to exit Thailand and apply for a DTV visa from outside the country. It's important to consider how a re-entry permit on the Non-B may affect this process.

If you are on a visa you can't cancel it. If you are on an extension of stay you cancel your work permit, you take proof of that to immigration and cancel your extension, you leave Thailand and apply for the DTV wherever you leave to
