Hi everyone,

I am curious to know if anyone has been in a similar situation as me. I am currently on a Non-B visa with a work permit and am an American citizen. My wife has an O visa as a dependent and is an Austrian citizen.

I recently got a new job, that is a remote job for a non-Thai company. I want to change my visa over and my wife's over to the DTV visa for a number of reasons. It's the actual right thing to do, it's cheaper, etc.

My question is, has anyone successfully change their thai work permit and visa over to a DTV visa? Mine doesn't expire until August, so also curious if you had to cancel it before?

For those with dependents on their DTV visa, has anyone done it with a spouse of a different nationality than their own? Did you have to get your own DTV visa approved first, before they could apply for theirs? If so, how long did this take you and where did you do it?

It's a bit of a complex situation and we're thinking of canceling our visas before they expire and go to a neighboring country to apply for our DTV visas. Thanks for any advice!

Looking for firsthand experience only, not agents!

Hi, is it true that dtv visa cannot be cancelled. I asked at the immigration and the immigration officers said it cannot be cancelled. Does anyone know or experienced about the dtv visa cancellation?

Do you need to extend your work permit before you extend your visa? Or can you do the visa extension first?

Could anyone here provide me some clarity regarding the Thai evisa? I am working in Khon Kaen and have applied to get the Non-B visa in Vientiane. I have opted to pay at the Vientiene embassy.

The embassy advised that I wait between 10-15 working days for a decision, but someone who got the visa told me that they went to Vientiane shortly after submitting an online application and got the visa within 2 days via an agent.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hello guys! Can I change from Non-B to Non-O without leaving Thailand?

I'm currently on a Non-B visa but would like to resign from my job and switch to a Non-O (marriage) visa since I'm getting married to a Thai national. Does anyone know if it's possible to do this within Thailand, or would I need to leave and apply from abroad?

Also, if anyone has gone through this process recently, I'd appreciate any advice on the required documents and timeline. Thanks in advance!

I am going to Vientiane to apply for a DTV visa. This is my plan:

-I will exit to Laos without a re-entry permit.

-My current non-B visa will be automatically canceled upon departure.

-I will then apply for your DTV visa.

-Once approved, I will proceed to apply for my spouse’s DTV visa.

-After obtaining the DTV visa, I will return to Thailand.

-Additionally, I will cancel my work permit with I’m back in Thailand.

My question is: Will not canceling my work permit prior to leaving Thailand cause any trouble for getting the DTV? Someone told me it would.

Any advice would be appreciated since our tix are booked to leave on Sunday and we won’t have time to cancel the work permit in person. TIA!

I currently hold an ED plus Visa, and my husband and baby currently have Non-O Visas (as dependents on my visa). According to the new rules, my ED plus Visa can be converted to another visa within Thailand.

My question is:

If I get a Non-B Visa, can my husband and baby do an in-country conversion from one Non-O to another Non-O (linked to my Non-B), or will they have to leave Thailand?

If conversion is not possible within country can they come on tourist visa and then convert to new non-o

Does anyone know the DTV visa cancellation process?

I got the DTV visa 5 months ago. I’m in Thailand now and I’ve got job offer and have to apply for Non-B visa and work permit.

Please share me any experiences if anyone have gone through the process. 🙏

Has someone ever gone from retirement visa into visa through work permit? Or is retirement the final destination so to speak...
