Same at Don Muang - we just did it a couple of weeks ago and it is after security there too.

P.S. I'm writing from Chiangmai and the meetings were here in Chiangmai.

I can't post any evidence of this but I am hearing from reliable sources that the labor dept called 2 meetings this week and invited many of the well-known foundations here. At the first meeting, they announced that they will no longer require volunteers to get work permits and thus will not issue or renew work permits. At the second meeting on Tuesday, immigration representatives were also present and they stated that they will still enforce their regulation of revoking volunteer visas for those who do not have a work permit and any change in law for them needs to come from a higher source than the labor dept. So they were at an impasse as of Tuesday and no consensus was found. I was not at the meeting but I have heard this from people who were and a friend also had it confirmed from a consulting agency that helps with these kind of visas. I will post later if I get more evidence for you.

I have been here for 2 years on a dependent visa but I want to volunteer and do it legally. . . . hence why I just changed to a volunteer visa.

So if you want to volunteer for more than 4 weeks, you can still get a work permit?

The lawyer at my volunteer organization is quoting the new law of the Foreigner Work Act 2018, which says volunteer work permits no longer being granted apparently.

I won't go over, just wondering if I could get a tourist visa or something or extend and then cancel at the same time???

Yes. Thanks Robert. So from everyone's experience - does that mean multiple entry definitely not possible?
