USA passport holder. Tourist Visa August 28-Nov 25 2019 with 1st extension via Chiang Mai immigration office in September 2019 and 1 land border crossing via Mae Sai October 2019. Received a Non-B visa for teaching Nov 25, 2019--Feb 24, 2020 place of issue Vientiane, Loa via land crossing at Nong Khai, Thailand. I did not receive a work permit due to resignation of a teaching job. What are my options for going back onto a tourist visa to remain in Thailand while I find new work? Can I get this through Chiang Mai immigration office? Can I do a land boarder crossing? Is my only option to fly out of the country and back in?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, a USA passport holder, is seeking guidance on obtaining a tourist visa after their Non-B visa for teaching expires. They already have a tourist visa that allowed for one extension and a land border crossing. Options include making a border run for a new 30-day Visa Exempt Entry, visiting a Thai consulate for a new tourist visa, or a Non-B visa if they find work. They cannot apply for a new visa at the immigration office, and they cannot extend their current Non-B visa.
