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?

Hi, anyone know whether one can apply for work permit while on retirement visa?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently living in Thailand on a DTV visa and working for a company that pays me as a freelancer.

Since the company is not based in Thailand, they suggested I obtain a work permit through an Employer of Record (EOR) service. I'm assuming they would increase my wage accordingly so that my net salary isn't affected by the change.

I have a few questions:

Has anyone gone through this process?

Would you recommend it?

From what I understand, I would need to cancel my DTV visa, and I'm not sure whether having a work permit would offer significant benefits beyond things like opening a bank account. I'm also unsure if I’d be able to reapply for the DTV visa in the future if needed.

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Can I renew a driver's license with a Non-B, or do I need to wait for the full work permit process to be completed?

I saw some people on here already cancelled their DTV to switch to Non-B/Work Permit

Question: Did you need to leave the country to do it? If you did not, how much did it cost to get the Non - B/ Work Permit......(This question is aimed at teachers mainly)

I have a question and I hope someone in thr group has had a similar situation. My daughter, granddaughter, and myself are moving to Bangkok next month. I do not work, but am in school wrapping up my Masters and plan to teach. My daughter does work and is also wrapping up her Masters. My grandbaby is only 3. I am her other primary parent since my sil was murdered before she was born.

With that said, can we apply for a family dtv using her work and my savings? If so, do we each need to have 500k baht in the bank? Can she still be listed as a dependent at 32? Can I be her dependent?...not sure which route to go since she has the jon, but I have the funds

Got my LTR visa today! Thanks Grace from Thai Visa Center and assistant June, you made it very smooth. I first sent documents March 1 and Grace vetted them before submitting them. I was told to expect 2-4 months and it was less than 3. Very happy 🙏

My original nationality is Brazilian and I have been living and working in Thailand for 4 years with a valid Work Permit. I am also married to my Thai wife.

I can speak Thai well but I'm still learning to read and write.

I have already bought a house to live in.

I would like to know if I already meet all the requirements to obtain permanent residency in Thailand.

If possible, I would like advice from a specialist agent who could help me with all the documentation and a quote for the amounts to be paid.

Hi, I need to clarify an important step for being finally a teacher in this beautiful country 🤩

So when I went to Malaysia 2 weeks ago (to send all documents to Penang embassy and change my tourist visa in non-b) I had an issue, my school was not updated about eVisa and didn't give me some paper so I went back in with another tourist visa.

Now I need to go out again to show them the evisa request arrived yesterday (after so many troubles and lack of help from embassy or evisa service) and finally get the stamp of non-b visa on my passport (I still don't have a work permit but I should get it pretty soon and I don't think that because of this it should be a problem to get the non b at the border, but in case just let me know).

Can I do this border stamp in any border thai I like in Thailand (in this case Ranong that's shorter distance) or I forcely MUST go in the same embassy where I requested my eVisa (in this case, Penang)?

I think it should fine Ranong, please bring me some good news 😋

Any one apply and get a non b visa. In order to start a small business in Thailand? Sounds like 30k investment in the business is needed
