Following up questions about change jobs in thailand:

my husband currently holds a non b visa 1 year extension working for a company in BKK, valids till 18th oct. Me, holdin Non-o related to it. He is trying to change his work to a company in Koh samui as soon as possible. we are dealing with 2 lawyers now ,one in bkk represents the current company, another one in samui ,represents the new company. there is some confusion and confliction, would like to have your advices.

-can he cancel work permit in bangkok, and apply new work permit on the same day in koh samui, to avoid to go out of thailand

-do we both need to cancel our current visa extensions? as bangkok lawyers are asking us to cancel the visas at the same time as cancel the work permit. But lawyers in koh samui ask us not to cancel the visa, only the work permit, due to language barriers , we could not get explainations of this. what should we do? cancel the visa or only cancel the work permit?

-it sounds extremely stressful situatuion for us. if the 2 lawyers can't coordinate their work about "the same day" . what will happen to us? as technically , we will be risking over stay.

-we can consider to go back to France, and apply all over again, but apparently the WP31 in samui require 1 month to obtain, and it can only be applied when the current work permit is cancelled, so we will be facing to stuck in france at least 1 -1.5 months . but would this be a better solution?

thank you in advance if you can share your insights and advices with us.

Hello 🙏☺️

I hope someone have any advice on my situation as its stressing me outtttt.

In february me and my thai boyfriend and our 2 babies flew from Sweden to Thailand. The plan was to get married and then convert visa exempt to non o visa. But the marriage part took such a long time due to paperwork being wrong and stuff. We only got married a couple of days before my visa exempt extension was finished. So I had to do a boarder bounce by land to get 60 new visa exempt days. After the 60 days I got another extension and before that was finished we flew back to Sweden for one month holiday.

My plan was to get the non o visa from here and fly back with that. To apply from sweden though its more than 1 month waiting at the moment so I wont have time to get a non o visa from here 😭 (ive spoken to embassy already)

I am terrrrrified to fly back to Thailand with no visa and trying to enter on another visa exempt to convert into a non o visa. Anyone have been in similar situtation with 2 visa exempts and trying for a 3rd but having a "valid" reason for it?

Im travelling with my thai hustband and our 2 babies back to thailand. I have my marriage documents with me.

Is there any other visa I can apply for ? Or would even a tourist visa be better?

Any help is appriciated. Thank you so much 🙏☺️

Hi everyone!

Maybe some of you had the same experience:

1. I have 2 passports. Number one is going to expire in 4,5 years. Number two is for 10 years and absolutely new without any visas and stamps.

Can I use the new one, but provide stamp that I'm in Vietnam from the old one?

2. I had student visa which wasn't closed properly. It just expired and I did border run, so no re entries. Would it be a problem?

Hello everyone, I would like to ask if anyone has experience with deportation from Thailand and applying for a new visa.

My friend is Spanish. About 2 months ago, he came with a tourist visa but was rejected at the airport because he had done too many border runs last year. He stayed in the immigration quarantine zone for 1 week before flying back. The officer did not blacklist him, but we believe there is a record of deportation.

Now he wants to apply for a DTV visa. We are worried if the previous deportation will affect his chance to enter Thailand again. As I understand, the embassy and immigration do not always share information closely. I also heard some people got a DTV visa but were rejected at the airport because of fake or missing documents. In our case, we have all real documents with evidence.

Our question: Will his past deportation cause a problem for entering Thailand with a DTV visa?

If anyone has similar experience or information, please kindly share. 🙏

I'm looking to bring my partners niece to England for a 2 month holiday.

Roughly how long does the process take?

I know that might be like asking 'how long is a piece of string' but maybe someone who has gone through the process could give me a rough idea?

And what is the starting point?

The UK or Thai Embassy?

Thanks

I successfully completed the visa application with Seoul Embassy (very strict)

We applied for soft power category and they asked us a lot of documents that we didn’t have it like a tax document from own country (my gf worked in foreign countries for 3 years)

So I decided to write letter to explain everything about the situation and our plan to make the financial stable,

So I just want to share that aside all documents you provided you can also write them letter to explain with the attached evidence to show them your words is true.

I got approved after submit additional documents in 3 days, so happy.

So if you have any questions and your intentions to come here is not dirty😂 you can ask me any questions if you would like to
