Hi all. My husband has to cancel his OA extension because he’s been offered a paid position in Thailand, so will need to go to the Thai embassy in his home country to obtain the new visa. We’re in Bangkok. My question: after he goes to immigration to cancel the OA, how quickly does he have to leave Thailand? Are there a couple of days grace period or does he have to leave immediately? Thanks for any advice.
Does anyone have experience with obtaining a 1-year Non O-A Visa in their home country and then once in Thailand switching to a Non O after a year and after 12 months of depositing needed pension funds into a Thai Bank?
Seems that would be a "smoother" transition. I meet all the requirements, and I was already planning on getting health insurance.
Hey ya'll, planning on moving to Thailand later this year once I have more funds saved up, and trying to figure out which visa is right for me.
I'm a chef and plan on going the soft-power DTV route, through my friend's cooking school in Chiang Mai. However, knowing that I cannot work for a Thai company with a DTV I'm wondering if the Non-imm B visa is a better choice for me if I end up working at a restaurant/bar or elsewhere after being there awhile.
Has anyone switched from a DTV to a non-B before? Is there a better way I should go about my plan?
Thanks group for all the insight! Been learning so much from everyone here.
Has anyone recently been on a TR visa with multiple entries and then applied for a DTV and got approved?
My concern is that I have been approved for a TR visa and have had two to three re-entries within the past six months. I'm unsure whether I should email the embassy to cancel already approved TR visa before applying for the DTV.
