No need to wait 6 months.

Thai citizen you mean. Residency and citizenship are not the same thing.

Theres no good reason to force people to apply outside of the country. Just insist your employer gets the paperwork to convert in country. It's a ridiculous and pointless bureaucracy that suggests it's "easier" to apply abroad. Why? Certainly not for the applicant it isn't and any serious company would pay for the travel expenses associated with their future hire to go outside of country to apply, which also adds extra time to the whole process.

Of course they'll issue a non B. The DTV is more of a temporary gimmick, a non B is a well established work visa.

Yes, should be OK but depends on the office you're using.

You should consider carrying Baht in cash (it must be cash) and preferably in Baht. Just keep a stash of Baht that you don't use and only carry with you on re-entry. It is unlikely to be asked for, but could be.

The requirement is to show Baht in cash.

@Robin ********

Aha, I see. That's what I thought.

@800, it is happening with visa exempt and tourist visa entries. That's well known. Volunteer and education visas as well.

@Rick **********

Yep, that's true.
