What happens if you leave Thailand at the end of your non b visa without cancelling it or going to immigration in your local province?

-THAI BANK ACCOUNT-

My SCB account was opened 8 years ago as salary account on my Non-B visa. I always maintained several million THB paid to me through legitimate, Thai taxed salary/benefits, which I am still maintaining after quitting my job. I also religiously filed Thai Income tax returns each year.

Recently my WP and Non-B visa has been cancelled after my resignation. I am considering switching to DTV. So, as reported by several members here on DTV, is my bank account at risk now or anytime in near future? TIA 🙏

Hello. I’m asking for a friend. Is it possible to acquire TM30 in apartments here in Bangkok? She’ll be needing that to change her visa exempt to Non-B.

Hi:)

Has anyone here switched from a Non-B business visa to a DTV?

Just wondering if immigration makes it complicated or checks things more deeply, and how a re-entry permit on the Non-B affects the process.

Any experiences would be super helpful 🙏

Good. Morning. Visa change question.

My work has finally come through with documents to make my Non B visa. I’m on a Non O now. I need tocancel my non O and leave. Returning on visa exempt. Then apply and go to KL embassy for the non B.

It’s my understanding I need to go to immigration office that issued the non O for cancelation. How long do I have to exit country once they cancel the Non O?

Once canceled can I exit then come back in same day? Just border bounce to KL or Singapore? Or is there required minimum time out of country?

Will there be any issue to apply for work permit before 15 days of expiry of Non-B?

Hi all, can anyone please advise on what would happen to a DTV with several years remaining if you were to obtain a Thai work permit? Would the DTV be automatically cancelled or would it still be active, if the foreign-based position was continued concurrently? If it is indeed cancelled, is this absolute, or just "paused"? Say if you left the local company could it be resumed again until the 5 years is up? Thanks.

I’m a Canadian in Thailand (5+ yrs on Non-B, paying taxes) running an AI consulting biz (HK LLC, US clients). My visa expires end-Aug 2025, so I’m applying for DTV (freelance or business owner?) to bridge to LTR for PR later. Which DTV category is best for PR transition? Planning to apply in Cambodia/Vietnam. Advice appreciated!

Hey guys, got a gig working in Bangkok teaching, so been recommended to do the border run in Laos for the non-B visa. Thing is I’ve been working in Cambodia the last two years, and my police check from there expires on the 16/08, which is next Saturday. To get another one will cost me an arm and a leg as I will have to get it externally, are they picky on validity?

Thanks!

I have learnt from this forum that if one wants to get a new Non-B, one has to cancel the Non-O Retirement at the office of issue (in my case, Chiangmai). But yesterday I queried this with the IO at the CNX immigration office, and he said that Non-O retirement cannot be cancelled like other visas. What one needs to do is just leave the country from any exit port, then get a new Non-B (in my case, the Royal Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur). So now I am confused. Do I need to cancel the existing Non-O retirement in Chiangmai, or simply let it lapse, and then apply for a new Non-B through the e-Visa portal in Kuala Lumpur? Please advise. Thank you.
