I have work permit in Thailand till November, I want to ask: if I want to finish the work permit in this month, does my visa must be finished on the same day? Or the visa still can be finished in November? Because I want to change my work permit to retirement visa in Thailand.

Hi everyone,

I just received an email that my DTV application was marked as cancelled rather than rejected, after sitting in “pending approval” for six days. Great...

I have a slight suspicion that something might have gone wrong in my initial application, maybe some information wasn’t filled out correctly from my side.

Has anyone here experienced a cancellation (as opposed to a rejection)?

If so, what happened next and what steps did you take? Did you reapply right away, or take another route?

I’m currently considering just reapplying through the same embassy, but I’d really appreciate hearing from others who went through something similar.

Thanks a lot in advance!

DTV - UAE Experience so far

Hey everybody,

Thought I would share my fresh from the press experience here for the DTV application. I applied 3 days ago from the UAE and yesterday I got an email saying my visa was cancelled because I “entered the wrong nationality. Should not be United Arab Emirates” But I 100% entered it correctly (Austria) - see screenshot.

Now they’re asking me to reapply again, obviously running through a new payment of 400 USD.

I also checked the place of issuance, which for me was Dublin as my Austrian Embassy in Dublin has processed my passport.

Super confused as to how to proceed from here...

I have the initial Non-B Visa and Work permit. I do not have a visa extension.

If my employer close my work permit, do I have to close my visa?

If I do not leave the country immediately after cancelling my WP, will I get an overstay?

Hi guys, I will be changing employers soon in Bangkok and my current HR has advised that my family and myself need to go to Chaengwattana immigration in person to cancel our Non B's. They will provide all the documents to do so...

My question is, has anyone got any personal experience in doing this? How difficult is the process ( I know I probably can't get an exact answer to this question).

Lastly, would it be better to let an agent do this, as it means my son will miss a day of school (he won't be complaining though hah) and I really dislike going to this place in general! Any recommendations for a visa agent if this is a better route to take?

Any decent advice would be appreciated.

EDIT: Reapplied Wednesday last week in the same embassy and got approved today in the afternoon. So Hanoi did mine in 4 business days, no additional documents required.

Heya, I got rejected at Hanoi because I messed up some personal info. They said "Visa application cancelled, wrong personal info" and I realized I didn't put my current location in, just permanent home address, which were different in the documents.

Now I got everything else covered and checked, but I hear that I couldn't apply again at the same Embassy? Is that really a thing? There's no block on the website and nothing mentioned. I don't want to lose another $340 in case they just won't mention it.

Hello Everyone ! ☺️

I’d like to know if there’s any one in this group who have try to do a second DTV after the first one was cancelled? Is it even possible ? (I got job in Thailand so i did Non B )

Hi, my son is on an ED visa and I'm on a guardian visa with NO re-entry permit. Our visa expires December. We are leaving the country for good on Saturday. Do I need to go to immigration to cancel our visas or will they cancel automatically when we leave on Saturday?

Hi, I was on an ED visa extension of stay (4 years and waiting to graduate)which finished on the 26 of August, so I did not get told by my uni that I needed to cancel it at immigration so I came back on a non exempt visa. Now I've been told that I'm on overstay and waiting for the letter to cancel my ED visa. What are the implications and what are my options. I will be going to immigration on Thursday to cancel my ED visa. What can I expect and what should I plan for. I left the country to go onto a tourist/non exempt visa but been told its not valid. I'm South African and not sure what my options are. Please advise of possible.
