Me again, I will be leaving Thailand at the end of September, late afternoon 30 Sept to be exact. I understand the Work Permit and Extention of Stay (both only expire on Feb next year), can be canceled on the same day, but one never knows with queues and traffic, etc, I'm worried about running out of time. I understand one can apply for a 7 day extension at B1900? Now my question: Wouldn't it be better to do it the Monday 29th September, then just pay the B500 overstay (hope I'm correct about the amount and procedure), I really don't need more time to "tie things up"? I might return to Thailand by next year May, or perhaps not, things are still up in the air! Any advice will be appreciated!

Good day there! Can anyone perhaps give advice regarding the following: I have asked the company I currently work for, to have my contract terminated by end of September, as it now stands both my Visa and Work Permit will expire in beginning February 2026. I plan on returning to Thailand later next year for which I'll obviously have to go through the whole process again. Now my question: Is there anything I have to do now on my side before I fly out on 1 October 2025? Unlike other departures, I won't be getting the Re-entry Visa, so will that automatically terminate my stay here? Any advice or comments will be appreciated !

Can i open a bank account in thailand without visa??or i need visa first??

Hi all. It's my first time working as a teacher in Thailand, I got a non-B visa from Laos. My work permit is short and will expire on 30th September, however my non-B will expire on 4th November! Is it true I have to exit Thailand when my work permit expires or can I stay in Thailand till the non-B visa expires in November?

Hey everyone!

I’m currently on a work visa in Bangkok, but I’ve just landed a full-remote independent contractor role with a US company and I’m planning to switch over.

My plan is to apply for a DTV visa from my home country. I already have over 500K THB in my KBank account, and I’ll be showing my contract (which lists my Thailand address with the US company).

Does anyone know if I need to provide any additional documents when applying, or have any suggestions from similar experience?

Please admin approved my post please anyone have experience on work visa in Thailand anyone can share with I am Pakistani national can I work in Thailand

Hi - my work permit (WP) ends on the 16th Oct and my Non B on the 24th Feb. I am looking to appoint a manager to take over my resort and pass the WP to him. I am returning to the UK but don’t have accommodation until 12th Nov. So if I bounce out to KL and get my Non B cancelled while in KL and just return to Thailand on a VOA for a couple of weeks. Will I have any issues?

I just had my DTV revoked . originally it was paid for by my employer but I stopped working for them and they wrote to embassy to inform them I’m no longer contracted to them & had my DTV revoked

There has been a few posts regarding TrueMoney wallet app/service. Here is my positive experience. I already have been using it with a family members ID, so I decided to apply for my own. Firstly you apply through the app. They allow you to apply for the basic level. It was simple Passport BIO. Face ID, phone no and your details. It took 24 hours and I got a sms saying I had been accepted.

You can then apply for the advanced level. You now are asked for work permit (I put retired) Non O visa ext stamp. Yellow book, or pink card or Thai driving licence. I think its only one of these but as soon as i put my yellow book in it said we will review your documents blaa blaa, 24 hours it was approved

I only use this app for 7/11 because I have bank accounts (not frozen at the mo) debit and credit cards. So this is to avoid all the Thai coins you end up with. So cant say about the other facilities.

Also I found a FB TrueMoney account and messaged them. They were really quick and answered my questions.

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.
