My friend holds a Non Immigrant Business visa (Non B visa) which expires and renewed every December for the last few years.

He is going to register his marriage with his Thai spouse this month.

Does he need to do anything with his Non B visa? Or can he just renew as usual as if nothing happened.

He plans to continue using Non B visa , no plans to use Spouse/Marriage visa.

Respect post please

So I will try to do 1 year Non B Visa E-Extension soon. May I ask if what is the “Letter of confirmation and request for a temporary stay” document could be? What could be the additional documents I should upload?

And are there any reviews and recommendations about visa extension whether I should do it online or in immigration office?

Thanks!

We need to go to a neighbouring country to apply for a Non B visa… which option is best out of Laos, HK or KL? (UK nationals).

Hello, I currently have a Non B visa without a work permit and I'm moving to a new school. May I ask what will be the process because I'm getting mix answers.

I’m currently in Vientiane to get my Non B visa,

Do you apply online this year for the visa or how does it work ?

Previously I had to book an appointment online and submit the documents in person

How is it done this year ?

Thank you

Denied in Taipei🥲

Type: remote worker (for 1 company, not freelance)

Situation: coming from non B visa

Heartbroken to say that I was denied in Taipei. It is a specific situation, as I have worked in Thailand, legally for 3 years. I accepted a remote job and came to Taipei to switch my visa type to DTV.

Even with a current contract and first payment made by current company (+600,000 tbh banked and consistent income for past 6 months from past job), they denied because they wanted me to have 6 months of income *from my current contract.*

Note: I also had everything else in order, including the employment letter (stating remote position), company registration documents etc.

The issue they had, specifically, was was that I hadn’t been in my current role for 6 months. Pretty much they told me to leave and try again in 6 months time when I am established at my new job. There was no remedying it with them.

— and genuinely this was so shocking because I’d never heard of this being the case for anyone else before. Am I wrong on this?

So, if you are coming from a non B and are switching to remote work, please be aware that this is the way Taipei approaches this scenario.

If you have a similar work history but successfully gotten a DTV visa, can you please comment? I’d really like to understand what else I can do and how I can better plan my application in the future.

Hi everyone,

My wife is about to give birth and I need to change my visa to Non B and need to apply outside.

Is it possible for me to go somewhere like Vietnam, apply online and fly back to Thailand while my visa is getting approved? Or do I need to be in Vietnam while I wait for the result?

The Thai Embassy in Vientiane, Laos will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 01 January 2025 with 10-15 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa. The last day for accepting in-person applications at Vientiane is 20 December 2024.

Again, the Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 26 November 2024 with 10 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa.

I have a visa non B from Kota Baru Malaysia. On the sticker visa, the end of the visa is 9 October but the officer at the border stamp 8 October.

Do you think it will be considered overstay if I leave on the 9 ?

From the Royal Thai Embassy - Phnom Penh Facebook page:

"The Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh will adopt the e-Visa application on 8th October 2024.

Last day of walk-in application: October 4th, 2024. Not much time left...
