Hi guys, I will be changing employers soon in Bangkok and my current HR has advised that my family and myself need to go to Chaengwattana immigration in person to cancel our Non B's. They will provide all the documents to do so...

My question is, has anyone got any personal experience in doing this? How difficult is the process ( I know I probably can't get an exact answer to this question).

Lastly, would it be better to let an agent do this, as it means my son will miss a day of school (he won't be complaining though hah) and I really dislike going to this place in general! Any recommendations for a visa agent if this is a better route to take?

Any decent advice would be appreciated.

I have a question regarding Non-O visa

If I need to change my company(workplace) can I just cancel my work permit form old employer and apply work permit with the new employer and extend my visa or how this works?

Probably a dumb question please be kind. If you have DTV on remote work and you switch companies (still working remotely), do you need to get a new DTV? Or you can just report the change? Thanks in advance.

Hello 👋

I am currently under an extension of stay until sept 2025.

I’d like to change job in December. Both employers are in the same province.

What’s the procedure to transfer my visa to my new employer?

I had investigated this matter a few years back and remember that everything needs to be bone within 1 day but don’t know the exact procedure.

Many thanks

Hello! I have been working in Thailand for several years and have a WP and Non-B visa. I have only changed schools once before and that was during COVID times and to a school in the same province. I didn't exit the country as my school processed the paperwork in our local immigration office. I am planning to move to a different province for work but several coworkers and friends are telling me I will have to exit to Laos to change to a different Non-B visa from my new employer since it will be issued for a different province. Is this really true? If so, can anyone tell me where to find a list of the steps and expected costs? Thanks in advance!

Hi there everyone, I have a question about changing employers on a Non-B extension.

I have a friend that currently holds a Non-B and is on an extension that lasts until September 2nd. He also has a work permit that expires the same time. He is now wanting to change employers and teach at the same school that I teach at in Lampang.

So I am curious, can my friend go to the Immigration office in Chiang Mai (his old employer location) and cancel the Non-B extension, and then apply for a new Non-B extension at the Lampang Immigration office?

Both his old employer in CM and his new employer in Lampang are working and communicating together, which is great. I just want to help my friend have a smooth transition, and hopefully not need to leave the country for his new employment.

Appreciate any help and advice.

This question is being ask by a member wishing to post anonymously.

I just got my non-b visa with the school I am currently employed with. It is valid until 30 May, and they have started the process to apply for my work permit. I also got my re-entry permit because I am visiting home for the month of April. However, I want to relocate within Thailand and change schools/employers soon. Should I wait until I have my work permit? Or should I resign as soon as possible. Will they be able to cancel my non-b visa if I do quit? Or should I first find a new employer before quitting my current job?

For those on a Non-B (extension based on employment) is it going to be possible to change jobs within country if you can arrange documents on time? IE having the documents ready, cancelling work permit/extension, and then getting a new extension on the same Non-B with another school/company on the same day? Or, is pretty much everyone in that situation going to need to leave the country, get a new non-b, and come back?

👋🏼 Hello all! I am moving from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, and changing employers. Can anyone tell me the updated process for transferring provinces without leaving the country? I have a work permit and Non-B Visa extension expiring 30 June 2021.
