ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello. 

I got my first non-B visa (to teach) for 90 days. My next step would've been to make another one for a year, correct?

But now, I want to leave my job and was wondering what would happen next concerning my visa.

After my 90 days are over, can I extend for another 30 days? Do I need to exit and make a new tourist visa? How does it all work?

Thanks for the help.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user has a 90-day Non-B visa for teaching and is considering leaving their job. They are unclear about the implications for their visa, such as whether they can extend it for an additional 30 days or if they must apply for a new visa. Several comments clarify that extending a Non-B visa for 30 days is not possible; options include applying for an extension based on employment documents or leaving Thailand to obtain a new visa. The discussion includes some frustration from the user over the community's responses and a desire for more patient advice.

, umm I DID give you the answer to your question and I don't care in the least what you're doing here or why you didn't get your Non-B extended.

I provide visa advice, I am NOT judge jury and executioner about what type of visa you're on OR why you didn't get this or that visa.

You got the answers from me.

Okay, You can not extend a Non Immigrant B visa for 30 days, the only option is 1 year Extension of Stay based on working with documents from your employer. For your other question as you do not want to tell your purpose of stay inside Thailand get a visa for the purpose of your stay.

If I didn't want to share information, I wouldn't come here in the first place.

But you give me no time to reply, and start blaming me for not answering.

I just want answers, really. And peace. I neither want to blame nor fight. That's not me.

Just have some patience for me to reply. Maybe 5 minutes would be OK. Gives me time to think and type a reply.

Thanks for understanding.

Thanks for this. Get a tourist visa, or a visa exempt entry, non immigrant O visa if you older than 50 years, a non immigrant O visa if you are married to a Thai national, a Thai Elite visa if you want to stay long time and i can type all kind of other visa types for you. If you do not want to share information, do not blame me about my character.

Seems you cannot take a breath before bombarding me with questions and insults.

I intend to stay in Thailand and work, but it seems schools here haven't got a proper work ethic.

I was hoping for some help, not condemning.

This happens every time I ask a question here. I wonder if it's me or the members of the group.

Maybe it's better to figure everything out on my own, somewhere else.

But thank you anyway, shows exactly how your characters are.

NOPE, There's no 30 day extension on a 90 day Non-B visa. IF you're still on the original entry of the 90 day visa whether you work or not you can stay the 90 days. Then you would need to leave and get a new type of visa from a thai consulate in another country or exit/re-enter on a 30 day visa exempt (if you're from a country that can do that)

If this group is not to help, then I don't see the point of asking anything here!!!

What are you plans? You let a school invest in a work permit and the documents for the Non B visa, when all done you decide to leave the job. Are you going to be a tourist in Thailand or are you going to look for a new job and actually work or only wanting a new Non Immigrant B visa? Your Admitted to Stay you got on entry will stay valid if you leave your current job.

The school did not invest in my non-B. I did it all myself and paid for it. They did not do any work permit for me either.

They said they don't want me to work there any more, so it was their decision.

Now summer is coming, and I am wondering if I don't get hired in the meantime, and have my papers processed, my visa will expire by the end of April and was wondering what to do next.
