Currently on a non-b visa and am due in 4 weeks for 90 day report. Previously lived in bangkok and would do 90 day reports at chaengwattana.

6 weeks ago I moved to phang nga province and the place where I am staying submitted the tm30 at phang nga immigration. Does this mean I can now do my 90 day report at phang nga immigration or will I have to fly back to Bangkok to complete my 90 day report?

I received my Non-B visa last week, and my work permit is currently being processed. However, due to certain reasons, I need to change to another company. The new company informed me that their processing will take about one month.

I would like to ask:

Is it possible to stop the work permit process with my present company?

If so, can I remain in Thailand with the current Non-B visa for one month while waiting for the new company's documents, even without a valid work permit during that time?

Can I transfer the Non-B visa from my current company to the new company within Thailand?

Please share the information.

Passport Type: USA

I’m having to leave Thailand because my Non-B visa couldn’t be transferred in time due to a missing document from my employer. While still in Thailand, immigration told me I had to leave the country to do a border run and return on a tourist visa to restart the Non-B visa process.

This will be my first time entering Thailand on a tourist visa exempt on arrival, as I haven’t used one this year. Today, I’m flying from Thailand to Vientiane, Laos (VTE airport) via Lao Airlines. I had everything prepared for the visa on arrival: 2,000 baht in cash and a passport photo, ready before check-in at the airline counter.

However, Lao Airlines refused to issue my already paid-for ticket unless I showed them an additional 10,000 baht in cash. I’ve never heard of this requirement before.

I’m scheduled to return to Thailand on the same airline from VTE. Has anyone experienced this before? Has anyone had problems flying back to Thailand from VTE with Lao Airlines?

Hello, I’ve been on a DTV for around 7 months but have now gotten a job opportunity, I’m wondering if anyone has any experience converting the DTV to Non B within Thailand, my lawyer seems to think I need to do a border bounce and come back on visa exempt to then convert it, but I’ve read that you can convert it from a DTV as it’s technically a multiple entry visa… Let me know, thanks.

Hello everyone,

I’m an Afghan citizen and have been living and working in Bangkok for nearly 10 years through my own company.

I’d like to bring my father (60) and brother (30) to live with me. My brother has a mental disability and cannot work, and my father is retired. They simply want to stay here peacefully and travel back to Afghanistan occasionally.

As many of you know, it’s very difficult for Afghan citizens to obtain tourist visas—including for Thailand.

So I have one main question and would really appreciate your advice:

What is the best way for them to enter Thailand and stay long-term, similar to how I renew my visa annually?

Thank you in advance for your advice!

*P.S. Afghan citizens apply for Thai visas in Islamabad, Pakistan.*

Hello everyone ,

I am in the situation where I did a mistake on my application for a Thai e visa ( non b visa ).

I have 2 options :

Option 1 : still going to ventiane to pay the fees and try to get the visa even if it might be denied/ rejected because of this mistake ( and loose then 200 e of flight tickets for nothing).

Option 2 : wait until the Thai e visa application online expires after 14 days for not paying the fees at the Ventiane embassy. Then do another Thai e visa application with no mistake. ( I'm just not sure, if they let you do another application after one that has expired )

Did any of these situations happened to anyone here and how did it go ?

Thanks a lot for your help🙌🏻 🙌🏻

Hi! If my non-b visa is cancelled, is there an option to get a 7 day temporary extension after the cancellation? If yes, what is it called? I can’t seem to find info about it but am pretty sure I heard about this. Please advise! Thanks!

I co-own a Thai company and I am registered as one of the managing directors.

I used to live in Thailand full-time so it made sense to have the yearly non-B visas and extend them every year at the immigration, but I recently moved abroad and only come to work in Thailand for a max of 3 months a year. We also no longer need the 4 employees and would like to scale down to 1 or 2.

What are my options now visa-wise? Ideally I would like to remain as one of the managing directors.

Thanks in advance!

Is Non-B Visa extension’s validity decided according to the length of the employment contract or work permit?
