Hello I need some advice,

I will end my work at current company in 30 April.

And I need 7 days after the cancellation the current work permit, because I will make a new WP and visa for new company within 7 days.

My current company said will process WP cancelation in 12 May,

But my new company will process the new WP in 2 May and expected the current company will cancel it in 30 April. Meanwhile one of requirements is must cancel the current visa first.

My questions:

1. can I get and apply additional days after 7 May?

2. Does the paperwork of wp cancellation needed when apply new WP?

3. I asked Labour Staff, they said that I must come with Local staff when WP cancelation. What actually they will do or ask to the Local staffs?

Thank you in advance for your answer, I really stuck about this 😞

Hi everybody,

I am coming to Chiang Mai soon and I will attend a Thai Lanuage School for an ED visa. I've read it's impossible to start a business whilst on said ED visa. Is that true, or can a visa agent perhaps help with some legal loopholes I am unaware of? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

I need an agent that can do the work permit here in Bangkok 🙏🏽

I’m sure it’s been asked before but I’m not sure what keywords to type in to look for it. With this said, I’d like to know if there’s a way around having 15k in my bank account to get my DTV. My wife and I plan to move to Thailand mid April and live for a few years to teach at schools in rural area. Please let me know what to do

Hi, I'm looking for a reliable agent who can help me prolong my work permit and non-B (they are tied to the company I work for, which is willing to help with preparing all the necessary documents). Please connect me with the right person. Thank you!

Does the DTV bar you from conducting any work in Thailand OR working for a Thailand-based company? For example, I also do professional speaking. I'm American. Could I get hired to speak in-person at a corporate event or retreat in Thailand that is put on by an American company?

Hey all. I am a noob (newbie) to this group. My daughters are coming to Thailand in 2 weeks. Both are in their early 20s. One is coming to teach and the other has applied to a university in Thailand and is waiting to hear back.

If she gets in, school won’t start until July or August so… I guess she would first have to do a tourist visa and then ask the school to start the process for the education visa so that she doesn’t have to leave the country? This is all so new and happening so fast.

My husband and I will be down there in July and he is doing a retirement visa but I was going to do a DTV visa. I wasnt sure if I can work if coming under his retirement visa. Which would be better to do?

Hi all,

I'm looking into relocating from Australia with my partner and 3 children.

My partner has a business and can work from anywhere. 2 of my children would go to an international school, my littlest is 1 yo.

We're not married but have been together for 17 years.

My partner is thinking, eventually, he would like to hire employees so I'm assuming that a business visa and work permit would be more suitable. Everything I've researched, our children would be able to apply for visas under his business visa but I would not unless we get married, which is fine, it's a piece of paper.

We're not in a hurry and want to ensure everything is done properly. I would love some advice on experiences or contacts for some solid info/assistance.

Appreciate any help. 😊

I have a DTV visa and a valid work permit from my previous visa, but banks at Central Festival Chiang Mai say it's not possible to open an account with a DTV visa. Who can help with this in Chiang Mai, even for a fee?

Hi 👋🏼

I am new here and starting to look into moving to Thailand.

I am a scuba diving instructor and last time I worked in Thailand, I had a visa and work permit through my employer but looking to find work after arrival in Thailand this time.

I have seen mentions of DTV and soft power visas but trying to understand the difference and what might be best for me to apply for? Thanks in advance ☺️🧜🏼‍♀️
