Hello, My friend has a *work permit until July 2026*. Company of him (49%) with nominees (51%), so not legit. we know. should not been done . Has non-B-eVisa-90days from an embassy until *May 20th*. He will leaved Thailand on May 3rd.

Here are the question - can he return next day (or only after May 20th?) ? can he receive 60 days stamp? is there a need to cancel work permit prior to leaving the kingdom?

Thank you all,

Hello I am a little confused with rules .so I have non-b work visa and work permit but now if I want to change my job ( employer) do I have to leave country and doo whole process again and get non-b and work permit again or I can ask my employer to cancal my work permit and ask new employer to make the new one while staying in Thailand itself ??

Hello, urgent question: my work permit is coming to an end on 23rd April, with non-B expiring 29th April. My understanding was I would get some grace period after work permit expiry before having to leave the country but company wants to cancel the work permit + visa on 23rd April meaning we need to leave same day. They only told me this today *after* I gave them documents to cancel.

Currently have a sick infant at home so I would rather not have the work permit cancelled and have to rush out of the country same day. Company hasn't really been clear if this is possible or not...they said if I don't let them cancel the work permit + visa on the same day and instead I let the visa expire it will cause problems with future employment in Thailand.

In practice what is the real risk for staying after work permit expiry and not cancelling it? (We would leave before 29th to avoid overstays.)

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice 🙏🏻

My work permit expired in March, and I didn’t realize it at the time. I’m still working with the same company, and my Non-B visa is valid until May.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Could you please advise me on the proper steps to resolve this issue and how I should proceed?

Can anyone help me with details surrounding the TM30

I rented via an agent last year and they handled my TM30. This year I no longer have an agent as I went direct with the landlord. They have never done a TM30 before. They submitted everything a week ago but it still says pending. Any idea why this would be? They sent me the login details and I checked everything and all details with asterisks are filled out. Is there a way to get it sped up. I need my TM30 asap for my non B renewal.

Note: I can't use my old TM30 as I have a new passport.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi there! Does anyone have more info on the new visa (purchase 30 million baht property/rent 80K property)? I can’t seem to find much info online and was wondering if anyone has done this recently and has experience. Would love more info, thank you!!

Hi all! I'd be grateful for some urgent advice 🙌

I'll try to keep this as clear as possible:

November 2025: accepted a job as a teacher at a school in Thailand with a start date of January 2026.

December 2025: applied for and received a Thai Non-B 90 day visa by the Embassy in London.

January 2026:

- entered Thailand on Jan 1st and had the non-B visa stamped in my passport (valid for 90 days).

- started the job on January 5th. Was told by my employer that they were in the process of applying for my work permit.

- by my second week working there I had realised the job was completely not as described, management were verbally abusing me, and still no work permit (they then told me that they would wait until my probation was finished to apply for the work permit. Probation was 2 months. I knew this was illegal).

- I quit at the end of my third week there due to the lack of work permit, the not as described job, and the horrendous abuse. My resignation (with immediate effect) was followed by a week of abusive emails from management and them refusing to pay me for the time I had worked.

February 2026:

- they eventually paid me and the abuse/all contact stopped.

- I called immigration 5 times and was told each time that I was allowed to stay in Thailand until my 90 day non-B visa expired. They said it didn't matter that I wasn't working - I was still allowed to stay until the visa date in my passport.

March 2026:

I'm now a few days away from the Non-B visa expiring. I have a flight out of Thailand tomorrow. I'm very worried about the following:

1. I worked for 3 weeks without a work permit. Will I get in trouble for this tomorrow when I'm at the airport?

OR

2. My former employer did secretly have a work permit for me (without my knowledge) and I've therefore over stayed by around 60 days because I didn't leave when they cancelled it when I quit. Surely they couldn't have obtained a permit for me though without me knowing?!

Also, I plan to re-enter Thailand as a tourist 4 days after my non-B expires. I will stay for 2 weeks and then leave for good. Will I have difficulties trying to enter Thailand so soon after non-B expiring?

🙃

Would massively appreciate any help! Thank you

I am currently in Thailand on a 60 day tourist exempt stamp which I would like to extend for 30 days, with the aim of doing an in country conversion to a Non B visa.

My question is about transferring to a new passport as the current tourist exempt stamp is in my old passport but I would like to go forward with my new passport.

Can I just go to IT square Lak Si with both passports, apply for the 30 day extension as normal and then request for the extension stamp to be done in my new passport?

I have a letter from my embassy about transferring to a new passport.

(There are only 3 months left in my old passport)

Thank you

Anyone has experience switching DTV to Work visa? Will they cancel DTV if they issue work visa? I have a job offer but I don’t want to loose DTV.
