I am a citizen of Myanmar currently living in Chiang Mai with a Non-ED visa.

My current student visa will expire in coming May since it is for a one year program. So, I am planning to apply for a DTV visa to live longer in Thailand.

I would like to know if it is still possible to go back to Myanmar (Yangon) and apply the DTV visa this year?

I am quite worried about the airport security news I have heard lately. Also, I am within the age scope that they need for the military service. That's why...

Can someone please give me some advice?

Thank u in advance!

Edit :Thank you very much for all your suggestions. I am now planning to go to Cambodia. Your suggestions helped. I didn't ask in the wrong group. 🥰

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV visa application for Myanmar passport holders.

I am currently in Thailand on a Non-ED visa and working remotely for a foreign firm. I plan to switch to DTV (Workcation category) soon. However, my passport is expiring soon, and I need to renew it before applying.

The only way I can renew my passport in Bangkok is to change from a PV (Visit Passport) to a PJ (Job Passport) for some reason through an agent.

For any Myanmar nationals who have successfully applied for DTV, does the passport type (PJ) matter? Has anyone faced issues because of their passport type when applying for DTV?

Would appreciate any insights.

Hi,

I'm currently on my last extension of my Non-ED visa and planning to switch to a 1 year extension based on marriage. I'm wondering if I can apply for that in Chiang mai at the same time I cancel my current visa? Or will I be required to cancel, leave the country and re-enter to apply?

I got Non-Ed visa from University for 3 months and 1 year stamps but my 3 months stamp about to expire on 3 Feb. Currently I'm outside of country (I did have retry stamp) and I couldn't make it back before 3 Feb to get a stamp for 1 year due to illness admit at hospital, is there a ways I can get a hold of my visa

Question: After arriving on an initial 3 month non-immigrant education visa, can you leave and re-enter with a re-entry permit?

Or will it get canceled?

I know this is ok after it has been extended to one year, but is it ok in the initial 3 month period?

This is for 4 year university. Kenyan passport.

Hi, I would like to ask about not canceling my Thai visa.

I finished my study in Dec 2023. After that, I went for a visa of research assistance (Non-ED), which was expired in Nov 2024. However, I left Thailand in June 2024 without canceling or buying re-entry.

I read that not canceling my visa is violating Thai regulations. What should I do now to make sure that I did not committed to crime in Thailand? I heard that not canceling visa will be seen as overstay, which can be fined or banned from the country.

With our kids 90 day non-ED visa, do we have up until its expiry to apply for the 1 year extension? (noting that we're still waiting for school paperwork to be completed & their visas expire 4th Feb). I've tried to research this myself, but all that I can find that is definitive is that you can apply after 45 days have elapsed from the issue date, but then conflicting info as to what's the last day you can apply for the renewal ... with 15 & 30 days often cited, as well as, right up until the expiry date. Could someone please clarify for me? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I graduated and left Thailand in the second week of December, but I wasn’t aware that I needed to cancel my Non-ED visa. Now, I’m planning to apply for a tourist e-visa to enter Thailand around March 28th, but my Non-ED visa is still valid until March 31st. Will I face any issues with this, or do I need to take any steps to resolve it before applying for the tourist e-visa? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Good evening,

I am currently studying as an exchange student at a university in Thailand and am on a 90 day non-ED visa. Since my visa expires on December 4 and I am studying until December 15, I would actually have to extend my visa for 1900 baht. Could I just leave before December 4th and come back after December 4th with a visa exemption or will I have problems if i do that? I also have to leave the country again for 8 days over Christmas and then come back to Thailand until mid-January and then go home completely. So i would Need 2 more Visa exemptions. Does anyone have any experience of this?
