To those of you willing to post publicly: Has anyone had problems leaving Thailand multiple times under the DTV? Have you faced a higher level of scrutiny at immigration with successive reentries?

Has anyone who previously opened their bank account with a work permit encountered any scrutiny?

For whatever reason, every story drumming up anxiety over these issues have been posted anonymously.

Quick Question

I am working at a school. I am presently under contract until the end of July, but I will need to start at my new school on July 1st. Consequently I will go to Laos (Savannakhet) to get a new 90-day Non-B.

It is not convenient for my current HR to assist with visa and work permit cancellations in the week that I will travel to Laos. They says that there is no need to cancel my current Non-B before I go to Laos as it will be cancelled automatically when I cross the border. There will be no issues either at the border or at the Thai consulate in Savannakhet when applying for the new Non-B.

My current school said that they will cancel my work permit with the Labor office formally in the week after I go to Laos. I have no reason to believe that they won't do this. They are honest and reliable. Once they do this, they say, I will be able to apply for a new work permit.

I am concerned that if I don't cancel the work permit and visa before going to Laso, then get a temporary 7-day visa, and then go to Laos that I might run into a problem either at the border, or at the Thai consulate.

If anyone has any insight into this situation, I would greatly appreciate it. I am just trying to do the right thing, in the right way. Thank you in advance.

Good morning. I'm in between work permits and need to do a border run while we sort out the paperwork for a non-b. Is one night in Pedang Basar, Malaysia, enough, or should I book two nights?

Hello community 👋, I’m currently living in Bangkok as an expat with a family visa. I would love to start a small business and open an online shop—just like I used to do in my home country. Does anyone here have experience with this or know how the process works in Thailand? Many thanks in advance! 🫶✨

When banks ask me about a work permit can saying you’re self employed and don’t sell your product in TH help you? Bc thats 100% true for me.

Hello I need some advice,

I will end my work at current company in 30 April.

And I need 7 days after the cancellation the current work permit, because I will make a new WP and visa for new company within 7 days.

My current company said will process WP cancelation in 12 May,

But my new company will process the new WP in 2 May and expected the current company will cancel it in 30 April. Meanwhile one of requirements is must cancel the current visa first.

My questions:

1. can I get and apply additional days after 7 May?

2. Does the paperwork of wp cancellation needed when apply new WP?

3. I asked Labour Staff, they said that I must come with Local staff when WP cancelation. What actually they will do or ask to the Local staffs?

Thank you in advance for your answer, I really stuck about this 😞
