Hi everyone! DTV work action was rejected at Hanoi Embassy.

I submitted my application on the 30.9, got 3 emails asking for further documentation.

Now, in my case I had a non B visa & work permit, all of which was cancelled, expired & company ownership transferred to someone else via the lawyer I worked with.

Provided all the needed documents (bank statement with the funds, company letter, company registration outside Thailand, proof of source of income).

Then they asked for further information about work permit & business registration in Thailand - provided that alongside the proof of transfer of ownership & cancelled work permit.

Yet, it was rejected saying “not eligible for DTV, please apply for non B visa & work permit again.” Which is not the route for me as I don’t have any company anymore in Thailand.

Anyone experienced similar challenge? Any advise?

Going to the embassy tomorrow to ask for clarification…

Thank you!

So I basically have a non-B visa with work permit. I reminded my company a month in advance that I need the documents to extend my visa. But they delayed a lot as I am the first foreigner in the company and they do not know the procedures. I now have about a week to get my visa extended.

They are still trying to go through the normal route without a visa agent and I think they have the necessary documentations already. But they said that if the immigration officer requests for any additional documents, we may need to pay for a visa agent. They company expects me to pay for this. Is this normal? I feel like I would be paying for their mistakes as I reminded them a month in advance.

And what are the documents that are needed? Is it possible to get the visa extended within a week? O

I have work permit in Thailand till November, I want to ask: if I want to finish the work permit in this month, does my visa must be finished on the same day? Or the visa still can be finished in November? Because I want to change my work permit to retirement visa in Thailand.

I have the initial Non-B Visa and Work permit. I do not have a visa extension.

If my employer close my work permit, do I have to close my visa?

If I do not leave the country immediately after cancelling my WP, will I get an overstay?

Good afternoon,

My wife got a visa based on work permit.

She is going to Chaengwattana to get a multi-entry.

We are not clear on documents needed for this.

Can you list them ?

Thks a lot

Hi, i need some help.

1. I am working in BKK for 10yrs, holding a work permit and will retire in Dec. With 800k in a thai bank account.

What is the process for getting a retirement visa.

2. My wife is here with me for 10ys with a dependant visa. She got her own bank acct with 800k. What is the process of getting a retirement visa?

All advice is very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance

Me again, I will be leaving Thailand at the end of September, late afternoon 30 Sept to be exact. I understand the Work Permit and Extention of Stay (both only expire on Feb next year), can be canceled on the same day, but one never knows with queues and traffic, etc, I'm worried about running out of time. I understand one can apply for a 7 day extension at B1900? Now my question: Wouldn't it be better to do it the Monday 29th September, then just pay the B500 overstay (hope I'm correct about the amount and procedure), I really don't need more time to "tie things up"? I might return to Thailand by next year May, or perhaps not, things are still up in the air! Any advice will be appreciated!

Good day there! Can anyone perhaps give advice regarding the following: I have asked the company I currently work for, to have my contract terminated by end of September, as it now stands both my Visa and Work Permit will expire in beginning February 2026. I plan on returning to Thailand later next year for which I'll obviously have to go through the whole process again. Now my question: Is there anything I have to do now on my side before I fly out on 1 October 2025? Unlike other departures, I won't be getting the Re-entry Visa, so will that automatically terminate my stay here? Any advice or comments will be appreciated !

Hi all. It's my first time working as a teacher in Thailand, I got a non-B visa from Laos. My work permit is short and will expire on 30th September, however my non-B will expire on 4th November! Is it true I have to exit Thailand when my work permit expires or can I stay in Thailand till the non-B visa expires in November?

Hey everyone!

I’m currently on a work visa in Bangkok, but I’ve just landed a full-remote independent contractor role with a US company and I’m planning to switch over.

My plan is to apply for a DTV visa from my home country. I already have over 500K THB in my KBank account, and I’ll be showing my contract (which lists my Thailand address with the US company).

Does anyone know if I need to provide any additional documents when applying, or have any suggestions from similar experience?
