Hello, My friend has a *work permit until July 2026*. Company of him (49%) with nominees (51%), so not legit. we know. should not been done . Has non-B-eVisa-90days from an embassy until *May 20th*. He will leaved Thailand on May 3rd.

Here are the question - can he return next day (or only after May 20th?) ? can he receive 60 days stamp? is there a need to cancel work permit prior to leaving the kingdom?

Thank you all,

Hello I am a little confused with rules .so I have non-b work visa and work permit but now if I want to change my job ( employer) do I have to leave country and doo whole process again and get non-b and work permit again or I can ask my employer to cancal my work permit and ask new employer to make the new one while staying in Thailand itself ??

Hi everyone,

I already have a DTV visa with about 4.5 years remaining, and I’d like to ask a couple of questions:

1. If I find a job in Thailand and need to switch to a work permit / non-immigrant visa for about 1 year, what happens to my DTV visa? Does it get automatically canceled, or does it remain valid so I can use it again after the work visa expires?

2. What happens if I already have an active DTV visa but change employer without changing the nature of my work? For example, if I leave my current remote job, stay unemployed for a short period, and then find another remote job (not based in Thailand), possibly with a company in another European country or elsewhere, would this affect my DTV status in any way?

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice 🙏🏻

My work permit expired in March, and I didn’t realize it at the time. I’m still working with the same company, and my Non-B visa is valid until May.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Could you please advise me on the proper steps to resolve this issue and how I should proceed?

I’m a content creator and Instagram influencer I’d like to collaborate and do business with local companies.

What is the legal way to do this? Which visa do I need, and how can I obtain a work permit as a content creator?

I’d really appreciate any advice or guidance on how to work with Thai businesses properly and legally. 🙏

Hi all! I'd be grateful for some urgent advice 🙌

I'll try to keep this as clear as possible:

November 2025: accepted a job as a teacher at a school in Thailand with a start date of January 2026.

December 2025: applied for and received a Thai Non-B 90 day visa by the Embassy in London.

January 2026:

- entered Thailand on Jan 1st and had the non-B visa stamped in my passport (valid for 90 days).

- started the job on January 5th. Was told by my employer that they were in the process of applying for my work permit.

- by my second week working there I had realised the job was completely not as described, management were verbally abusing me, and still no work permit (they then told me that they would wait until my probation was finished to apply for the work permit. Probation was 2 months. I knew this was illegal).

- I quit at the end of my third week there due to the lack of work permit, the not as described job, and the horrendous abuse. My resignation (with immediate effect) was followed by a week of abusive emails from management and them refusing to pay me for the time I had worked.

February 2026:

- they eventually paid me and the abuse/all contact stopped.

- I called immigration 5 times and was told each time that I was allowed to stay in Thailand until my 90 day non-B visa expired. They said it didn't matter that I wasn't working - I was still allowed to stay until the visa date in my passport.

March 2026:

I'm now a few days away from the Non-B visa expiring. I have a flight out of Thailand tomorrow. I'm very worried about the following:

1. I worked for 3 weeks without a work permit. Will I get in trouble for this tomorrow when I'm at the airport?

OR

2. My former employer did secretly have a work permit for me (without my knowledge) and I've therefore over stayed by around 60 days because I didn't leave when they cancelled it when I quit. Surely they couldn't have obtained a permit for me though without me knowing?!

Also, I plan to re-enter Thailand as a tourist 4 days after my non-B expires. I will stay for 2 weeks and then leave for good. Will I have difficulties trying to enter Thailand so soon after non-B expiring?

🙃

Would massively appreciate any help! Thank you

Does anyone know if we receive the DTV can we apply for a work permit if we are invited to perform at an event and they wish to pay us? Or if we have the DTV does that mean we cannot apply for a work permit? Thanks.

Has anyone had the DTV first, then a work permit visa here for Thailand, then got off of the work permit? Can I still use my original DTV visa or do I have to apply for a brand new one again?

Sorry if this has been asked before and thanks in advance!

Seeking advice 🙏

Currently holding Non B (extension of stay) with work permit. Recently married a Thai husband. Want to switch to Non O (spouse visa) while keeping my work permit.

Questions:

1.Can I change without leaving Thailand? (some say I must leave regardless)

2.Instead of depositing 400,000 THB, can I use salary proof since I am still employed with a valid work permit (meeting minimum salary requirements).

Visa cancelation.

In December 2025, I've got my NON-B E-visa approved in Vientiane, Laos and I got 90days, unfortunately my employee decided not to employ me, when I asked him how do I cancel the visa, he said I dont need to because it wasn't issued by the immigration in thailand it was issued by an embassy.

My question is can I go immigration and cancel and recieve the 7days grace?

Please let me know
