EXPERIENCE ARRIVING IN PHUKET TODAY:

Left Phuket on a business visa (planning to return and cancel it before activating DTV)

Went through the ‘fast track’ at immigration and they said I had to enter on DTV (I didn’t tell them I had DTV, it obviously just came up on their system).

I told them I was advised I had to come back and cancel my business visa and work permit but they asked a few staff and said that wasn’t correct so stamped me in on DTV.

They were very pleasant about it so just an FYI!

Hello all, so I am currently on a student visa. I applied for DTV in Cambodia and returned to Thailand before DTV was issued. My DTV has now been approved. What is the proper procedure for leaving Thailand now? Can I just exit the country without a re-entry permit and return with my DTV? Or does the student visa need to be cancelled prior to leaving?

hi - I have a non-b that expires jan 12th. I am going to vietnam for a week at that time. And planned to potentially re-enter Thailand with a tourist visa. I am considering applying for Ed visa when I return. Do I need to actively cancel my non-b - in order to re-enter and begin application for Ed Visa - or will it automatically expire and "cancel" on jan 12th? I ask because schools I have contacted keep saying I need to "cancel my non-b"... I assumed it will expire. And when I re-enter Thailand I will have a garden variety 60 day tourist visa. Any help welcome.. Thank you!!

Hi All,

My husband has business in Thailand, and he has work permit from his own company.

I am following him, as i have dependent visa for Thailand as a spouse.

I am employed in a travel company in Dubai and I am working remotely from Thailand, and stay with my in Thailand.

I am going to Dubai next month and i wish to apply for DTV visa, i am drawing good salary and maintaining suffucient balance as per requirement.

My question is DO I NEED TO CANCEL MY DEPENDENT (NON-O) VISA, before applying for DTV visa or if i get approval for DTV visa, my dependent visa will get auto cancelled ?

Thanks everyone.

For changing from ed visa to non b, got cancellation letter from university in which last date is 20 December.

So go to immigration for cancellation in first week of December and then go to lao visa run first week and come back before 20 December. It is ok to enter with non b.

I am wandering ed visa cancellation is effective on date of going to immigration or 20 December.

My ED visa runs out in late December and I will be leaving Bangkok on December 3. Do I need to go to immigration and officially cancel my ED visa before leaving? Or can I just leave? I plan to come back next year with a DTV visa.

My apologies if this has been asked before, I used the search function and couldn't find a similar question.

------------------------

I am the one who posted about ED visa and re-entry permit and this is the update post. I arrived in Thailand this morning and gave my DTV printed page and passport to the officer. She looks confused about which stamp she had to make. Then I showed my cancellation letter (not original but copy) then she smiled and Stamped DTV 180 days. I'm very happy that everything goes smoothly except the airline check-in counter. That Airline check-in counter really messes up that saying my passport has no visa stamp I mean wdh xD Then I just told them I'm going for a free visa because I am an Asian.

Does anyone have any experience getting a DTV while still having a non b with extension and work permit?

I was planning on cancelling them before I leave to go to Vietnam to apply for DTV but the paperwork to cancel them the correct way didn’t come through in time.

I have seen some people say they have been approved for DTV while holding another visa and also some saying you can’t get approved while holding another visa.

It’s a risk to apply and get rejected and lose 10k but at the same time if I have to do an entirely new trip after cancelling my other visas once I return to Thailand it’s going to cost me more than 10k so I am weighing up the pro’s and con’s of applying anyway to try my luck. I will be applying in HCMC.

So I had my DTV visa granted in Taipei today. I’m currently on a Muay Thai (education visa) that doesn’t end till the 30th of December.

Before returning to thailand do I need to cancel my ED visa ?

I have the DTV stamp now in my passport (sorry if this is a stupid question) just unsure.

I'm currently in Thailand on an education visa. My second 3 month extension will expire on the 29th of November. At this time I will have completed 9 months on the education visa. I don't want to do the final 3 month extension. On the 29th of November, I want to leave the country, and go to Lao, and apply for a DTV. My question: Do I need to do a cancel on the Education visa, or can I just wait until the 2nd extension expires, and go apply for the DTV.
