If I were you, I would not trust the school to properly cancel everything unless you've been working for them for many years and they've demonstrated that they've done everything by the books the entire time.

The problem with trusting them to cancel everything without you seeing that they did is that they might not. Or they simply "forgot" or any other excuses.

Then what's going to happen is that even when all your paperwork for the DTV is in order, they'll have no choice but to reject because your Non B is still active.

The last time I left Thailand 3 years ago, I went with the HR lady to cancel both my Non B and work permit in one go and got my passport stamped showing proof of Non B cancellation.

You stated you had a work permit/Non B up until last month. This to me makes it seem like you had a job working IN Thailand. Perhaps they rejected it because it wasn't made clear that you've now switched to remote work with explicit permission that you're going to do this remote work from Thailand. Like the embassy thinks you're still working a regular job in Thailand. I'm conjecturing here because your post is a bit confusing.

Btw, I had a Non B for 7 yrs then moved out of Thailand. Even though I had properly canceled everything prior to leaving, when I returned as a tourist to Thailand many years later; the IO still asked me if I was working in Thailand. ðŸĪŠ

If I were you, I'd try to call them and talk to someone to explain what you did so that they can get your files straightened out.

Anonymous participant 914 he and I haven't found on any website that states the requirement but he did have his doctor write something to the effect that his condition requires ongoing care and his next appointment date. I also have read that it'd be prudent for your doctor to say that you'll need treatment for at least the next 6 months or else you might end up with an METV or flat out rejected. My husband's doctor did NOT write this portion but if you want to be extra sure, I'd try to get your doctor to write this.

all online. I believe they don't even allow in person submission.

I figured it's easier to see the dates laid out instead of having to do mental math. 😅
