Some advice please

Situation:

I've been in Thailand since Dec 2019 on a tourist visa, an ED, a Non-B, multiple Covid extensions and now back on a Non-B which will be cancelled in April as I will leave my job. So, quite a few stamps in the passport.

Question:

Once my Non-B is canceled what is my best option for getting a Visa so that I can stay here for a while (a year would be great) longer as a tourist?

Thanks a bunch

Thomas

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about the best options for obtaining a long-term visa in Thailand after their Non-B visa is canceled. They have been living in Thailand since December 2019 with various visa types, including tourist and educational visas, and are seeking advice for a possible extension or a new visa type to remain in Thailand for about a year as a tourist. The comments include suggestions such as applying for a ME Tourist Visa from their home country and advice on strategic border bounces.

Go back to your home country and apply for a ME Tourist Visa. You'll get about nine months out of that with a couple of strategic border bounces

A multi-entry tourist visa is a possible solution.

Is there anything I can do in more local countries/embassies?

No... The METV multiple entry tourist visa is Only available in your home country. Not 🚫 offered in SE Asia

Wedding 🔔🔔 Bells would solve your wish to Stay in Thailand...

BORDER BOUNCE.. 2 per calendar year are possible...

AND a Thai tourist visa from either VIENTIANE or SAVANNAKHET Laos a possibility.

Suggest you explore your options.

And ask for advice from an experienced border/ visa run service company in the area where you live.

Good Luck 🤞

ok understood, thanks. Is it possible to get a more short term visa in SE Asia? (I'd like to avoid a trip back to the UK at the moment, if possible)
