wow what a sneaky moron :) do you also listen to neighbours house like a sneaky pervert to check what are they doing? And how did you find out that i m from Turkey?? :) what a loser :)

Go to Colombia to get robded at gun/knife point or your ass getting shot. Nope. Not me. Thailand is better in every way.

Once you leave thailand without a re entry permit, your non b visa and work permit get cancelled automatically. You might have issues while applying for a new work permit in the future though.

Depends on the branch. Bank branches have targets for new bank accounts and to meet them they can open an account with a tourist visa.

Modern day robbers: banks. Sure they dont want transferwise to get their wire comission! Change the bank.

Basically, they want foreigners back home ASAP. Easy to understand. But not fair. And those foreigners will never forget this including us witnessing this.

we all get this for non b extension after getting the WP. they give a month for consideration and you go there again after a month and they give your actual extension.

immigration asked questions to me in a similar case many years ago. i explained them that, i will extend my visa and they were fine with it.

first of all, do not forget to cancel your WP and non b visa before you leave or you risk a lot of problems and serious ones while applying for a new WP and getting a Non B Visa extension for that. After these, fly out and return with a 30 day visa exemption which you can extend it another 30 days at any immigration. that makes 60 days. you can buy a cheap ticket out of Thailand to show and dont risk that. get a 1500 baht ticket. if you still couldnt find a job after 60 days, then go to Phnom Penh for applying to a single entry tourist visa. easy there with some travel agencies and you dont even need to go to the consulate for the application, they handle. good luck.
