Visa Conundrum

Hi guys. I am having some difficulty obtaining current information. Visas and their procedures have changed and I find myself lost. My situation.

I am presently employed at a school in Roi Et. I will leave this school at the end of June and begin working at a school in Bangkok. Here is the information my new school has given me. I am unable to convince the new school of changes in their thinking.

1) I must be present in Roi Et to cancel my visa and work permit on June 30. It is impossible to quickly be in Bangkok on the same day to transfer my Non-B from one school to another (I have checked flights). The earliest I could arrive at Bangkok Immigration is 01 July. However, according to the new school, this would put me on a 1 day overstay. Bangkok immigration will refuse the transfer process if I am in an overstay situation. I can't use the 7 day visa extension option as Bangkok immigration will not process the visa transfer if my on on this 7 day extension. Is there a way around this problem?

2) I am investigating a Non-O marriage visa as I have been married with a Thai citizen for over 5 years. I do not have 400,000 Baht in the bank but my Thai salary is more than double the required 40,000 Baht. However I am finding mixed information about using my Thai salary. Some sources say that the 40,000 Baht must come from abroad. Some sources say Thai salary is OK, but I will need a letter from my embassy to verify my income. My embassy (U.S.A.) will not provide such a letter. Some sources say that isn't important and that 12 months of salary slips is sufficient (this I do have). The other issue is timing. I have two months before I will need everything processed. Additionally I have a work permit. Most websites indicate that I would need to cancel my current work permit when transferring from a non-B to a non-O. Does anyone have any suggestions about this option or any information that can clarify some of the questions I have posed?

I think this leaves two further options.

3) Get a Thai tourist visa from a Thai Embassy/Consulate in a neighboring country. I am having trouble finding updated information on this. Which is the best country (nearby) to do this? How does the e-visa system work? It used to be simple, but things seem much more complicated these days. If I need to do a tourist visa I would like to do it in the cheapest and most time-efficient manner. Any suggestions?

4) Get a Thai non-B from a Thai Embassy/Consulate in a neighboring country. My new employer is willing to provide the necessary documents for this. Again, if I go this route I would be looking for the most economical and efficient process. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for any assistance and insight. Sorry for the long post.

Hi all. The school that I was working for is planning to cancel my work permit. Is it correct that my visa will automatically be canceled, too? Is there anything that I must do before going for a boarder run? The school isn't helping me to explain this thoroughly.

Good evening. Happy Songkran to everyone.

My inquiry is regarding workpermit cancelation & current visa status. My employer terminate my work contract on 31st March and cancel my work-permit while I am away for my holidays in my country. My current visa on my passport will be expired on 30th April and before leaving TH I purchased my re-entry permit stamp which will be expired on the same date of visa stamp.

Question is, right now with the current status am I able to return to TH using my existing visa on passport or It has been cancelled since the day my WP has been cancelled.

Note : New employer about to process my new work-permit. So they want me to return before the expiry date and for the visa processing. But not sure my current visa is still eligible to enter TH or not.

Thank you in advance 🙏

I am going to Vientiane to apply for a DTV visa. This is my plan:

-I will exit to Laos without a re-entry permit.

-My current non-B visa will be automatically canceled upon departure.

-I will then apply for your DTV visa.

-Once approved, I will proceed to apply for my spouse’s DTV visa.

-After obtaining the DTV visa, I will return to Thailand.

-Additionally, I will cancel my work permit with I’m back in Thailand.

My question is: Will not canceling my work permit prior to leaving Thailand cause any trouble for getting the DTV? Someone told me it would.

Any advice would be appreciated since our tix are booked to leave on Sunday and we won’t have time to cancel the work permit in person. TIA!

Hello good people ! I would like to ask for some advice.

My last working date is April 30. Before leaving Thailand, I need to cancel my visa and work permit (WP).

1. Which one should I cancel first either visa or work permit? Meanwhile, based on the photo above, the resignation letter can be submitted up to 21 days before the resignation date. My new employer also mentioned that I can go to Immigration between April 21-25.

2. If visa cancellation can be done before my last working date, how many days can I stay in Thailand after canceling my visa?

3. Do I need to apply for a 7-day short visa extension?

I appreciate any insights. Thank you~

How long do I need to leave the country for after cancelling a work permit before coming back?

Currently on non b - employed by Thai company the past few years. Visa expires this month. I also have enough of an online business that will allow me to qualify for DTV. I only took the non b because I didn’t want to do border runs and just allow myself to nest. Im nester! 😊

sooo… can I just leave Thailand when the visa is set to expire, and submit my application/materials? Is having had a non b visa any type of red flag?

Should I switch to tourist visa for a few months and then apply?

Thank you for your insights!

Hello all,

I just concluded a contract with a Thai company and canceled my Non-B visa and work permit today with permission to stay until March 19th. The company staff told me that I can change the visa and extend to Non-O based on marriage.

1. Is that true?

2. Do I do this at CW or Chamchuri Square (where the Non-B was issued)?

3. Can I just get a short extension as I have a business trip in April and can then just come back in and do the normal extension process based on marriage?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a non migrant B visa finishing 15th of March and I quit my job end of february so they refused to do the paperwork for longer...

I would like to stay at least one more month for tourism and maybe looking for a new job.

How can i do this ?

Thanks a lot

Can any one have experienced and recommend?

Can I go abroad from Nong Khai gate and come back in the same day? I have a work permit visa right now, and I need to cancel it.
