Hi guys, I need advice. I am currently on a non O volunteer visa as I was doing volunteer work while I was doing my bachelor's in education. I since graduated and already have a school, but the problem now is that I have to change from non O to non B of course. Problem is that the borders are closed to any other countries. Does anyone have an idea to my options?

I have my degree and papers. My visa expires in March 2021, but my volunteer work permit expires now September 9th.

Answer summary

A user currently holding a Non-O volunteer visa in Thailand seeks advice on transitioning to a Non-B visa after completing their degree. They face challenges due to border closures and a looming visa expiration. Commenters suggest obtaining a 30-day extension from their embassy to facilitate the visa change.

You need a letter from your embassy granting a 30 day extension then off the back of that you get your new visa if you qualify. Speak to your immigration office and embassy

oh not heard of that TM86. I have been on amnesty a month and that is what the advice they gave me. From valid visa to visa maybe a different option for you. Good luck
