I have the Non-B visa, I am planning on changing jobs in July. I have been told 2 options:
1, I can cancel my visa July 1st and the effective date is the 18th.
2, I can cancel on the 11th of July and its effective on the 1st of August.
My new job has told me if I want the Non-B I need to go to laos or another country and apply for it. I looked online and it appears to be a 10-15 day process with the E visa system. They no longer do in person visa's as of the 1st of this year.
Can I apply for this while in Thailand?
[members only]
I am married to a Thai citizen. Could I just switch to the Non-O marriage visa without leaving the country, or would I still need to leave Thailand to apply? What does this process look like? Do I need to apply for the Non-O visa the same day as I go to cancel my non-B?
Follow up questions:
If I do need to leave Thailand to do the visa, is a land board crossing okay? About 2 years ago I tried to do a land boarder crossing into Laos near Chiang Rai and I was told I wasn't going to be allowed to leave if I don't get a reentry permit on my visa; which completed defeats the point of trying to do a visa run.
Considering applying to DTV and wondering if folks feel like I should do it sooner rather than later; basically wondering if you feel the DTV rules will change to be more restrictive?
Has anyone left Thailand with an ED visa or another type, got approved for DTV and came back in right after? Was it an easy process? Did they give you a hard time at immigration?
I am planning to go to Thailand in May. Is there any chance that the DTV will disappear by then? The visa seems incredible I don't want to miss it. Thanks in advance!

So they go through your documents in front of you. If everything is fine, you pay and can pick up your passport a few days later.
If they are not fine with your documents, they tell you what is wrong or missing and hand you over the documents to come back another day - in this scenery they doesn't take any money.
Overall very comfortable and smooth process.
BUT TODAY
I've heard that different people applied there and sthey demanded company registration documents, even for freelancers and remote workers. Someone (I don't know if from embassy or person who applied) mentioned they changed this 2 days ago.
So either these are necessary documents for everyone from now on or they just asked for additional documents in these two individual cases, because of reasons.
Do I need to apply for E visa now when returning to country?
I am doing a border run next week and one of my friends is telling me I need to do E Visa now before I come back to Thailand. I usually just come back with no problems. Has there been any changes? I still thought it was 60 day
