Hey guys! I posted on here a few weeks ago asking for advice.

Unfortunately I got the info wrong - I thought my visa expiry date was on my re-entry stamp, but it was on the visa itself (would you believe I've been here for 8 years!? 😂)

So they let me come back in on a 30-day tourist visa. I just renewed my work permit. Will this tourist visa do anything to void my work permit or cause me any problems processing the paperwork for my non-B? Really hoping I didn't screw myself with my own stupidity!

Thanks for any advice you can offer!

Answer summary

The poster mistakenly believed their visa expiry date was on their re-entry stamp instead of the visa itself, leading to their re-entry into Thailand on a 30-day tourist visa. They are concerned about whether this tourist visa will void their work permit or complicate their application for a Non-B visa.

First there is no 30 day tourist visa, so I guess you came back into Thailand without any visa and using the Visa Exempt Entry for 30 days. Working is Prohibited on a Visa Exempt stamp, even if you have the Work Permit. You can process the paper work for the Non B, apply for it and than back to work.

Yeah that's what I meant. The 30 days you get when you do a border bounce. Thanks for the info Robert!
