I saw some people on here already cancelled their DTV to switch to Non-B/Work Permit

Question: Did you need to leave the country to do it? If you did not, how much did it cost to get the Non - B/ Work Permit......(This question is aimed at teachers mainly)

I am sorry to keep asking questions about this but I want to be sure I have the correct information. I am currently in Thailand on the Non-O marriage visa, but I need to change it to the Non-O retirement due to a mistake I made. After checking the relevant websites, visiting immigration here in Korat, and emailing with a visa agent it seems to me the easiest way to do this is to go to Cambodia and then re-enter as a tourist with my US passport.

Please bear in mind the required funds are not an issue. All other paperwork is in order.

My question is this; if I do that can I then apply for the Non-O retirement visa from WITHIN Thailand, or does that need to be done while in Cambodia? Obviously if I do that while in Cambodia I will then need to stay there for the 10 days or so it takes to get approval for the visa. Which isn’t great but it’s easier than any alternative I can see.

Thanks as always for your assistance.

Hey guys, wanted to inquire something, I recently got my student visa renewed by my university, they gave me an Ed Plus visa with re-entry exemption.

Now, my question is, I am currently doing my internship in Bangkok, and will most likely end up working full time in this company, in this case, I have read that having an ED plus visa means I don't need to go out of Thailand back to my country to apply for non immigrant B visa, apparently the new ed plus visa lets me convert my visa to working visa from Thailand, regardless of which country passport I Haa anyone been successful in doing this? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

DTV holder here, now would like to apply for a teaching job. So: German national, master's degree equivalent (economics and political science), my English is close to mother tongue and my computer skills are top. Since last December: got a soft-power DTV (Muay Thai). Now I'd like to apply for teacher jobs on nice Thai islands - how is this possible with DTV? What could be done?

Anybody with experience in this regard - would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Is there a good company or person around that would help me convert my non-Visa tourist entry into a possible retirement Visa while I’m here? Currently my Visa runs out on May 19 but I probably could extend for another 30 days.

Cheers

Hello, I’m currently volunteering and have recently been offered a teaching position. My school is very supportive, but I’m curious about visa matters. Has anyone here successfully switched from a Non-O visa to a Non-B visa within Thailand? I’m under the impression that in-country visa conversions might be mostly available for tourists on visa exemptions or tourist visas. I’m eager to know if it’s possible to complete the process without leaving the country. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
