Hello! Looking for some advice from anyone who’s made a similar switch.

I currently have a Thai company and a Non-B visa / work permit (been running it for 2+ years). I’m planning to officially close the company down over the next two months and switch over to a DTV visa.

Has anyone here successfully transitioned from a Non-B / work permit onto a DTV?

• Did you run into any issues at the embassy/consulate after canceling your work permit?

• Which embassy or consulate did you apply through, and how long did the processing take?

• Did you use an agency or apply directly on the e-Visa portal?

Would love to hear how your experience went or if there's anything specific I should be aware of before canceling the Non-B.

Thanks in advance! 🙏🏽

Are you really closing your buisness down or going to be doing the same work, but just switching to a visa that might be better for you? This is what the embassy will potentially be looking at
