I received my Non-B visa last week, and my work permit is currently being processed. However, due to certain reasons, I need to change to another company. The new company informed me that their processing will take about one month.

I would like to ask:

Is it possible to stop the work permit process with my present company?

If so, can I remain in Thailand with the current Non-B visa for one month while waiting for the new company's documents, even without a valid work permit during that time?

Can I transfer the Non-B visa from my current company to the new company within Thailand?

Please share the information.

Hello, I’ve been on a DTV for around 7 months but have now gotten a job opportunity, I’m wondering if anyone has any experience converting the DTV to Non B within Thailand, my lawyer seems to think I need to do a border bounce and come back on visa exempt to then convert it, but I’ve read that you can convert it from a DTV as it’s technically a multiple entry visa… Let me know, thanks.

Has anyone here managed to buy a car on credit with a DTV visa? I’ve heard of people who’ve done it, but only through second-hand stories. Maybe someone here has actually gone through it themselves? I have a couple of questions — what challenges did you face, how did you solve them? Was a Thai guarantor needed? And so on.

Hi good morning, just wanna ask if my girlfriend holds a work permit in thailand and I am on DTV visa will it be possible for us to open a joint bank account? If yes, which bank is possible? Thank you in advance 🙏

I co-own a Thai company and I am registered as one of the managing directors.

I used to live in Thailand full-time so it made sense to have the yearly non-B visas and extend them every year at the immigration, but I recently moved abroad and only come to work in Thailand for a max of 3 months a year. We also no longer need the 4 employees and would like to scale down to 1 or 2.

What are my options now visa-wise? Ideally I would like to remain as one of the managing directors.

Thanks in advance!

Is Non-B Visa extension’s validity decided according to the length of the employment contract or work permit?

Looking for agent/service with real experience processing Non-B + Work Permit through OSSC for Representative Office (not Co., Ltd). Ready to start.

Hello, I have recently been working as a teacher in Thailand and have now changed jobs. Before leaving, I intentionally did not extend or renew my visa, as I wanted my work permit and Non-B visa from my previous employer to be cancelled. I have returned to the UK for the summer with the intention of applying for a new Non-B visa to begin my new teaching role in Thailand next month.

However, when I departed Thailand, I did not receive an exit stamp in my passport. I am concerned that without this, my previous visa and work permit may not be properly cancelled, which could affect the processing of my new visa.

I would appreciate any advice or assistance on how to ensure my previous visa is officially cancelled so that I can proceed with my new application.

Hello, I've been receiving a lot of help.

Currently, I receive my salary in Korea, and I also have a work permit in Thailand, where I am working. My Non-B visa ends on August 20th, and my work permit expires on August 1st.

I'm planning to go to Vietnam on August 21st to apply for a DTV. Will there be any issues with this?

Thank you.

Dear group, now after 8 month of soft-power DTV I might need to change my visa to a regular working visa. As I just applied to a bunch of white-collar expat jobs here in BKK and already have interviews scheduled.

I'd assume the process is pretty intense, but would be handled by (company) lawyers anyways.

Just to get a broader picture: has somebody in this group done this Visa transformation? How was it?

Anything one should know?

(PS: It would be also a bit strange and first time for me to be 'totally' in the hands of the visa sponsor company - at least this is how I'd likely feel in the first few months. What do you think?)
