I’m on a Non-B though my Thai organization, it was even stated by immigration that I am on a Non-B visa therefore I have to switch to tourist visa and then apply for Non-O or go out and switch outside before coming back for a 60 day non-o then extend for one year (based upon what immigration officers have told me)

@Stuart ********

yes I went to Laos and got a Non-B through the Thai organization I work with then a workers permit and every year I have to go back out and get a new one, last year when I renewed I had to first go to turn in cancellation papers to cancel visa go to Cambodia boarder to switch to tourist visa (due to new requirement that said we had to cut our workers permit before getting new visa but now it has changed again and they won’t accept Cambodia boarder stamps) and now I will cut my visa for the second time but for good, I will switch to Non-O, but just trying to find the easiest option with less hassle lol

I’m on a Non-B visa which is why immigration said I have to leave the country after checking my passport, they told us they aren’t able to switch my Non-B to a Non-O because I can’t hold a workers permit on a Non-O so I have to cancel my visa and my workers permit then I can switch

I tried that but immigration said I had to go out of the country and cut my Non-B visa to tourist visa, that they can not just change my Non-B to a Non-O, I woukd hace to first be on a tourist visa. I’m not sure why but maybe because it’s a workers visa changing to a marriage visa so I have to cut ties with my organization first

I’m on a Non-B year visa, however I already spoke with immigration along with my husband and every person we spoke with said I had to leave Thailand to cut my Non-B visa, I have to leave the foundation that I work with cut the visa and leave the country. They did say I can return on a tourist visa and change to Non-O at the end of the tourist stay, or I can apply outside, I’ve been advised by others, one couple being married to a Thai male as well, that it is easier to apply outside of the country than inside because they require different things.

While the process is still easier due to the fact I’m an American renal marrying and Thai male the requirements are less but there are still a few requirements. So we just felt if we had to leave anyways why not apply at the Thai consolation in the place we leave to.
