I applied for a non-b visa in Ho Chi Minh City on April 9 but have not received any response. Can you tell me if there is any possibility that the consulate will return the results by the weekend, especially in Ho Chi Minh City?

I have a job that is close to the onboarding date and I still have not received the visa results yet

I would like to thanks all advises got in this group. I sent my application on 15 May, and today was approved! I guess in less than 48 hours, because 15 and 16 was public holiday! Thank you!

P.S. I sent almost a book of information 36 pages, and I've had for 2 times non bvisa and 4 consecutive visa run... Thank you again! Now I am looking for an account to avoid the double taxation because now they now everything about me, so better to don't be naive...

EDITED: P.S. my husband, who as stated below,, already has his Non-b and a registered business in Thailand, and will be my sponsor. My remote work is commission based.

To obtain a DTV visa, there is the 500,000 thb required, some people stipulate that 30 days are accepted while others stipulate 3 months are needed.

The 500,000 thb is not a problem, however, there is also the "letter of sponsorship" option. Has anyone applied with the letter of sponsorship?

My husband has a Non-B with work permit and registered business, and I work remotely for a company in South Africa.

Initially we were going to go the Non-O dependent visa route, but due to the remote work I'd actually prefer the DTV (can't work on Non-O obviously).

I'm currently in Thailand on a 60-day visa exempt and realize I would need to apply from outside of Thailand.

My ultimate would be to find employment over here and also just go the Non-B route, but it's a bit tougher than expected because I unfortunately don't hold a degree.

Thank you, and looking forward to receiving positive and helpful comments.

My family’s passports were damaged so we had to replace them all. I’m taking the new passports to immigration to get our visa stamps. I have a police report stating the cause of damage, and letters from our embassies requesting new visa/entrance stamps. Do I need to take anything else?

Hi everyone. I need to change reason of my visa extension from education (Master) to working. I want to know if there is someone did this before and whether I should apply for a work permit before or after obtain the new extension? Thx in advance.

I see quite a few people on here have cancelled their DTV visas and transferred onto a work permit and Non B

Does anyone know after you do this- could you reapply for a new DTV visa let’s say after a few years (after you’ve worked for a few years in Thailand)

Question about "overlapping" visas:

Has anyone tried applying for a DTV while holding a valid Thai visa? I currently have a work visa (Non-B) expiring in June, I will be leaving my Thai company subsequently as well. I am hoping to apply for a DTV now (Workcation, I have a permanent remote work position with a Singapore company) and wondering if anyone has encountered any issues in doing so or what the embassy has advised in such situations. I have called and emailed my local embassy regarding this and received only a general response via email so trying my luck here.

I am in Singapore holding a Singapore passport. Embassy is closed until Wednesday for Songkran.

Hi guys,

One for the admin.

I am currently on a yearly extension of stay based on non - o ( being over 5O). I'm going back to work for a couple of years - I have a contract in an international school for the new academic year. I've b en asked to leave the country that gets back on a B- visa. I will be leaving for the UK at the beginning of May, where I'll apply for the non B. I currently do not have a re-entry permit and was going to leave on the assumption that my current extension will be voided once I apply for the Non B. I'm registered here in Chiang mai but did my last extension in Pattaya. Is my plan good to go or should I try to cancel the extension before I leave. Bearing in mind I can only get to the CM office if this is the case. Thanks in advance for your advices.

Hi, I went to the immigration office in Bangkok to extend my stay for another 30 days to finish my internship. I have a Non-B visa, and they told me I need to bring a "certificate and request for extension of stay from the embassy". I spoke with the embassy, and they said they don't issue that and no one has ever asked them for it. Did anyone encounter this or know what to do?
