Hello, I have recently been working as a teacher in Thailand and have now changed jobs. Before leaving, I intentionally did not extend or renew my visa, as I wanted my work permit and Non-B visa from my previous employer to be cancelled. I have returned to the UK for the summer with the intention of applying for a new Non-B visa to begin my new teaching role in Thailand next month.

However, when I departed Thailand, I did not receive an exit stamp in my passport. I am concerned that without this, my previous visa and work permit may not be properly cancelled, which could affect the processing of my new visa.

I would appreciate any advice or assistance on how to ensure my previous visa is officially cancelled so that I can proceed with my new application.

Hello, I've been receiving a lot of help.

Currently, I receive my salary in Korea, and I also have a work permit in Thailand, where I am working. My Non-B visa ends on August 20th, and my work permit expires on August 1st.

I'm planning to go to Vietnam on August 21st to apply for a DTV. Will there be any issues with this?

Thank you.

Dear group, now after 8 month of soft-power DTV I might need to change my visa to a regular working visa. As I just applied to a bunch of white-collar expat jobs here in BKK and already have interviews scheduled.

I'd assume the process is pretty intense, but would be handled by (company) lawyers anyways.

Just to get a broader picture: has somebody in this group done this Visa transformation? How was it?

Anything one should know?

(PS: It would be also a bit strange and first time for me to be 'totally' in the hands of the visa sponsor company - at least this is how I'd likely feel in the first few months. What do you think?)

Does anyone have any experience of applying for a business visa? I will be looking at opening a business in Thailand but yet again Google really is not my friend with the conflicting information!

It says I must apply via a Thai embassy but goes on to say "you may be able to do this once in Thailand" May is not "you can" which is why I am here

Before asking Google I was under the impression that I can apply for a Non-B once inside Thailand but apart from that, I was hoping someone could run me through the process and any pitfalls to look out for.

The business will require premises so I will hire a solicitor to "rubber stamp" the contract so I dont get any unwelcome demands or changes by the landlord and will get them to check my paperwork is ready to submit

Foolishness will be punished by chinese burn and a nipple tweak 😁

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.

Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing well. I’d really appreciate any help or recent info on this.

My wife currently has a valid Non-B visa and a work permit in Thailand. I’m her husband, and I’m currently in Thailand on a tourist stamp.

Has anyone recently applied for a Non-O visa (as the spouse of a work permit holder) if both partners are foreigners?

From what I know, applications used to go through thaivisavientiane.com, but the site is no longer working.

I’ve tried to understand how the process works now, and here’s what I found:

1. You travel to Laos (for example, via Udon Thani and the Friendship Bridge).

2. You apply for the visa online at thaievisa.go.th, uploading all required documents.

3. Then you go to the embassy and pay the visa fee — 2,000 baht.

4. After a few days, you receive the visa by email and can re-enter Thailand.

Is this process still accurate, or have things changed? Can you still go to the embassy in person, or is everything only handled online now?

Also, how long does it take? Some sources say 1–2 days, others mention up to 10–14 days.

Thank you very much in advance for any advice or recent experience! 🙏

I have been asked to potentially distribute/sell an imported product into Thailand. I know I can't just hit the streets and knock on doors. What is the best legal way in which I can do this so that I can be directly involved (either managing or direct selling) and get paid for operating this business?

Hello everyone my Non-B visa expires on September 15th, but I need to be in the UK from July 20th - September 20th (I currently have a return flight to Thailand on September 21st).

I’m not able to renew my visa before I leave so what are my options?

- Does anyone know if it’s possible to apply for a shorter 1 month Non-B visa extension or something before I go?

- Has anyone renewed their Non-B visa in London recently? How long did it take and is it a smooth / reliable process?

- Do I have any other options?

Thank you very much in advance 🙏
