Non-B after 2 exempts advice:

Did 2 border runs this year(January + April) total 180days on visa exempt + extension

I applied and got a job and my employer told me to go laos to get the Non-b work visa. (Legit work and everything)

Will i have problems entering thailand on NON-B with my history?

Sorry if this question been already asked i couldnt find anything.

Hello everyone,

I currently have an Extension of Stay (based on Non-B) stamp that expires on Dec 25. I’m not renewing it because I plan to apply for a DTV visa from Vietnam.

Plan:

• Leave Thailand on Dec 22 (4 days before the extension expires)

• Work permit will be cancelled before I depart

• I’d like to submit my DTV online application on Dec 22 (same day I fly out)

Question:

Do I still need to go to Immigration to cancel the Extension of Stay even though it has only 3 days left, or can I just depart normally without canceling it?

Thanks in advance for any advice/experience.

I am currently in Philippines for a non im B visa for Thailand. My flight back is 19 and how long could i expect the process to take. If i fly to Thailand whitout non B visa do i need to repeat the whole process again or can i convert to non B visa in Thailand?

Hi everyone,

Need some advice here.

I am currently working for a company and am under extension of Stay of Non-B Business Visa. It expires on January the 5th 2026.

I resigned from this job and will start a new job in January.

Documents won't be ready by January the 5th, so I will have to leave Thailand and apply for a new Non-B visa abroad.

My question is as follows: Do I need to go to the immigration to have my visa officially cancelled before I leave OR I can just abroad on, say, 4th or 5th and my visa will be automatically cancelled upon leaving at the airport/ border checkpoint?

I also have the multiple re-entry permit if that matters.

TIA.

Is anyone has an experience of changing visa from DTV visa to Non-B visa inside the country?

If not possible, is it required to apply Non-B at where the DTV issued embassy?

My DTV was issued at Laos

I don’t want to go again to Laos and I think it is not possible to have 2 visas at the same time.

Hello, I just want to ask po. Is it possible for e-Visa to arrive late at night? or on weekends? Applied in Ho Chi Minh and have stayed here for almost 2 weeks now 😭

Please I sincerely need advice.

I applied for non B visa in my home country since August and waited until early October without hearing from the embassy. Then I left my country to another country while still waiting only for them to invite me for interview by November and I was already in another country hence will need to fly back. Now I've emailed the embassy to cancel the application but they've not replied me nor cancelled the application as the status is still saying request interview and I was thinking of reapplying for the same non B from my current country where I will remain present for a while and available if there's interview invite.

Please will my new intending non B application be affected by the previous application that the status is still in request interview even though the embassies are different as well as the countries?

Inquiry for DTV visa cancellation process

I’m planning to apply for a Non-Immigrant B visa for work.

Currently, I hold a DTV visa issued by the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

I’ve tried to check the DTV cancellation process:

♦️I asked immigration officers in Chiang Mai, but they said they aren’t fully sure. They told me my DTV will be automatically cancelled when I enter Thailand with a new visa from outside the country.

♦️I also emailed the Phnom Penh Thai Embassy for clarification but haven’t received any reply.

⚠️Recently, I applied for a Non-B visa in Laos, but my application was cancelled (as shown in the screenshot).

They said "my passport bio page image was unclear, even after I re-submitted it in JPEG format.

and in addition you still have DTV and IB visa issued from Thailand Embassy in Phnom Penh.Please contact them to cancel them before you entering Thailand with a new visa. "

Is there anything I can do here in Laos to resolve the DTV visa issue, without needing to travel back to the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh for cancellation?

But Phnom Penh Thailand embassy hasn’t replied to my emails, and I am currently in Laos.

For context, my visa history is:

1st Non-B → then DTV in cambodia, Phnom Penh→ now applying for Non-B in Laos, Vientiane.

So I’m wondering:

👉 Has anyone experienced the same issue when switching from DTV to Non-B visa?

👉 Is there anything I should prepare or be careful about regarding the DTV cancellation or passport submission before applying my non b visa again ?

Any information or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you! 🙏

Can I convert from DTV to Non-B? If so, do I need to go outside?

Hi everyone, I’m in the process of applying for DTV (workation) in London. I’ve lived and worked in Thailand for the last 4 years on Non-B and work permit, but recently got a remote job based in the U.K. I’ll be back London at the time of application and will remain there until I hear back from the embassy.

Any tips from people who have applied in London in this category?

🙏
