Hi folks,

Any fellow expats experienced with the WP & non-B visa cancellation process, please? My buddy's employer cancelled his WP today and got confused about whether he should cancel his non-B Visa on the same day or if the visa can be cancelled later day once he is ready to leave TH.

Quick Question

I am working at a school. I am presently under contract until the end of July, but I will need to start at my new school on July 1st. Consequently I will go to Laos (Savannakhet) to get a new 90-day Non-B.

It is not convenient for my current HR to assist with visa and work permit cancellations in the week that I will travel to Laos. They says that there is no need to cancel my current Non-B before I go to Laos as it will be cancelled automatically when I cross the border. There will be no issues either at the border or at the Thai consulate in Savannakhet when applying for the new Non-B.

My current school said that they will cancel my work permit with the Labor office formally in the week after I go to Laos. I have no reason to believe that they won't do this. They are honest and reliable. Once they do this, they say, I will be able to apply for a new work permit.

I am concerned that if I don't cancel the work permit and visa before going to Laso, then get a temporary 7-day visa, and then go to Laos that I might run into a problem either at the border, or at the Thai consulate.

If anyone has any insight into this situation, I would greatly appreciate it. I am just trying to do the right thing, in the right way. Thank you in advance.

Hello!! I’m a semi-retired Canadian high school teacher with a TEFL certificate heading to Hua Hin in August. I would like to do some teaching with Thai students. Should I just go on a tourist visa and apply for a work visa, if I’m offered a job? Or do I need to have a work visa just to apply for a job? I would prefer the option that is not going to land me in a Thai jail!!😆

I am going to Vietnam to apply for the non b visa for work, then I will go back to Thailand afterwards.

Read online that its only online now, and you have to be outside of Thailand when you do it, my question is, how would they know if I am outside Thailand or not? (Being that its all done online)

I read that it may be possible that they call you in for an in person interview, but, many people said they havent been called for an in person interview. So besides that, how would they know where I am?

Btw, none of the requirements for the non b visa require you to show exit stamp from Thailand or anything of that nature, so im curious if im able to stay in Thailand while I do it, then after a couple weeks, or however long it takes, then i go out and come back in. Am I missing something?

Im looking for information, if my family have non o based on my work permit and when I exit the country to apply for another non- B from another school… do i re apply for them too or i go out apply for non B myself only then extend with them

If I get a teaching job there and a work visa will that qualify me for a Thai bank account?

CAN A FIRST APPLICANT APPLY FOR ONE (1) YEAR NON B MULTIPLE.

CAN IT BE APPROVE IF ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS ARE PROVIDED

HANOI, VIETNAM 🇻🇳

Has anyone had their Visa approved by the embassy in Hanoi over the weekend?

I know processing does occur over the weekend even though the embassy is not open to the public. Just wondering if there’s been any success stories of Approvals being granted over the weekend?

Currently pending approval and must extend my hotel stay. Not stressful at all 😅

Thanks in advance for any relevant experiences shared. 🙏

Hi,

I had my DTV rejected last year. I have since been to Thailand once on a tourist visa.

Now, I have found a job and they will sponsor my work permit. But I have a visa sticker with VOID stamped on it as a rejected DTV visa. Will this be an issue when I apply for Non B?

I submitted the TM30 for my fiance' on the website as I live with her when I'm in Thailand, this is my first time doing this. I went into the web site to indicate I'd be leaving the country and there's no reacord of me there, I've tried everything and I don't see my name logged there at all. I downloaded the excel file that shows all stays at that address and its blank. Whats up?
