I am trying to change my tourist visa to a non-o retirement visa.. I live in Nonthaburi but was going to try Bangkok, has anyone done this? I will be a walk-in appointment since there are no appointment’s available online.

How long was the wait to see immigration officer in Bangkok?

Good. Morning. Visa change question.

My work has finally come through with documents to make my Non B visa. I’m on a Non O now. I need tocancel my non O and leave. Returning on visa exempt. Then apply and go to KL embassy for the non B.

It’s my understanding I need to go to immigration office that issued the non O for cancelation. How long do I have to exit country once they cancel the Non O?

Once canceled can I exit then come back in same day? Just border bounce to KL or Singapore? Or is there required minimum time out of country?

I’m currently in Thailand on an Education visa, but I’m now looking into the possibility of switching to a Non-O visa to follow family.

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with this kind of visa change specifically, is it possible to change visa status from an ED visa to a Non-O while staying inside Thailand, or would I need to leave the country and apply from abroad?

Also, if anyone knows a reliable agency that can assist with this process locally (preferably without having to exit the country), I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice.

Thanks so much in advance

I want to change my O-A to an O visa. Is it important that I cancel my current visa Extension first or can I just bounce across a border, get a 60 visa exemption stamp and let my current Extension lapse?

Hi. I was trying to book an appointment at Chaengattana for applying for a marriage visa but can't see that option in the drop-down menu on the government site. Unless it's 'visa issuing and changing type of visa' ? It says there's no fee involved for the latter. Any help/clarification much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any experience or advice to offer, but I got approved for the DTV recently but my husband’s has not come in yet. Our flight is next week and I was wondering if anyone knew if he could come into Thailand on a tourist visa then get it changed when his gets approved?

Hello! I am an Australian passport holder and I’m currently on an Ed visa with a Muay Thai school. I am wanting to change to DTV after my 6 months is up. Potentially in Australia as I will go home to visit family. Has anyone had experience with changing from Ed to DTV and is it straightforward? I would be applying under soft power Muay Thai with my same school. Also anyone had experience applying soft power Muay Thai from

Australia? I am also open to using an agent if anyone has a recommendation?

Hello everyone, I am currently on an ED visa and want to change to a Non-B visa. I asked my school for a cancellation letter, but they refused because I still owe them fees. I am already outside Thailand. My question is: can I apply for another type of visa while my current one is still active?

Hi!

So I’m British and I came to Thailand on a 60 day visa free entry about 20 days ago.

I heard it’s okay but I want to double check if I can change it to a Non immigrant ED visa.

I also want to double check if I’m allowed to change my visa type whilst I’m in the country?

(From what I’ve seen, yes)

I start my internship on Monday and the only reason why I didn’t apply earlier is because one particular document was taking FOREVER to arrive.

I really wanted to come to Thailand a bit earlier than my internship to make sure that I can get things in order as it’s my first time coming here and I have little idea of how things work around here 💔
