ORIGINAL POSTERHi Everyone,
I've a question regarding Visa Exemption:
I'm actually on NON B Single Entry, that it will expire on 10th April.
I've Work Permit valid until the end of the year.
I'm planning to stay 1 more month in Thailand, that mean until the 10th May.
After that holidays and back in Thailand in November with a new NON B Visa.
My questions are regarding Visa Exemption, and are:
- to get it, do I need just to exit and Reentry the country before of 10th April?
- with Visa Exemption and Work Permit, can I legally work ?
- if I use Visa Exemption, can I have a new NON B after that?
Thanks to all.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the conditions for obtaining a Visa Exemption while currently on a NON B Single Entry visa expiring on April 10. They ask if exiting and re-entering Thailand before this date is sufficient, whether they can work under a Visa Exemption, and if they can apply for a new NON B visa afterward. Responses indicate that to obtain a Visa Exemption, exiting and re-entering before the expiration is needed, but working under this status is not permitted. Additionally, it's noted that they can apply for a NON B visa again after using the Visa Exemption.

The Non B visa is stamped used and invalid, you must have a new stamp with Admitted until 10 April 2020.
If you have a passport that is legit for the Visa Exempt Entry, you can cross a border, stamp out Thailand. stamp in/out neighbor country and back into Thailand with a new 30 day Visa Exempt Entry.
You can do this any time you like before 10th April.
No, you can not work as a Visa Exempt Entry is Employment Prohibited.
After your had a Visa Exempt Entry, you can apply again at a Thai Consulate or at your local Immigration for a new Non Immigrant B visa
Be aware if you leave the country to get this Visa Exempt Entry you also have to cancel your Work Permit at the Ministry of Labor

Just when will you get the correct visa for your desired long stay?
You can expect to be questioned by Thai Immigration when you arrive in November...even with another Non B visa.
The new visa...of any kind will likely be questioned. Its no guarantee of reentry into Thailand.
