ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, I’ve searched the group & I couldn’t find an answer. I’m on a TR visa which I plan to extend for 30 days (until July 20th), I’ll then switch it to a Non B. I know that I need to switch my visa with atleast 15 days left in my TR visa, however that might not be possible. If I can’t submit my Non B application within this time (15 days before the expiry of my TR), will I have to go home? Is there a way around this? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently on a TR visa and plans to extend it for 30 days before switching to a Non B visa. They are concerned about the requirement to apply for the Non B visa at least 15 days before the expiration of their TR visa and seek advice on options if they cannot meet this timeline.

What is the purpose of the Non B visa visa?

Teaching or business?

Why didn't you get the Non B visa before you came to Thailand?

I may have phrased it incorrectly, but I do understand the process. My issue is my docs to change to a Non B might be a bit delayed so they’ll arrive after the 15 day deadline. So in that case, can I apply for another 30 days? Or will I have to leave? I am under the impression that the TR visa can only be extended once

Ok,

sorry I misunderstood your post

You're right, you can get ONE 30 day extension on a tourist visa entry,

So your employer needs to NOT have those documents delayed or you're not gonna be able to apply for an in country Non-B.

There is no other extension available to you to buy time so you have the required minimum days left.
