Hi all. I will soon need to leave Thailand for the sake of changing employers. I only have 18 days remaining on my visa and work permit, so not enough time to transfer to my new workplace (teacher).
To the point, which place is quickest and cheapest to obtain a tourist visa, so my new employer can start processing my future work permit and Non B visa. What requirements does a tourist visa applicant need to fulfill these days? I haven't done this for many years.
Thank you for your assistance.
