Hello, I currently have a Non B visa without a work permit and I'm moving to a new school. May I ask what will be the process because I'm getting mix answers.

I’m currently in Vientiane to get my Non B visa,

Do you apply online this year for the visa or how does it work ?

Previously I had to book an appointment online and submit the documents in person

How is it done this year ?

Thank you

Denied in Taipei🥲

Type: remote worker (for 1 company, not freelance)

Situation: coming from non B visa

Heartbroken to say that I was denied in Taipei. It is a specific situation, as I have worked in Thailand, legally for 3 years. I accepted a remote job and came to Taipei to switch my visa type to DTV.

Even with a current contract and first payment made by current company (+600,000 tbh banked and consistent income for past 6 months from past job), they denied because they wanted me to have 6 months of income *from my current contract.*

Note: I also had everything else in order, including the employment letter (stating remote position), company registration documents etc.

The issue they had, specifically, was was that I hadn’t been in my current role for 6 months. Pretty much they told me to leave and try again in 6 months time when I am established at my new job. There was no remedying it with them.

— and genuinely this was so shocking because I’d never heard of this being the case for anyone else before. Am I wrong on this?

So, if you are coming from a non B and are switching to remote work, please be aware that this is the way Taipei approaches this scenario.

If you have a similar work history but successfully gotten a DTV visa, can you please comment? I’d really like to understand what else I can do and how I can better plan my application in the future.

Hi everyone,

My wife is about to give birth and I need to change my visa to Non B and need to apply outside.

Is it possible for me to go somewhere like Vietnam, apply online and fly back to Thailand while my visa is getting approved? Or do I need to be in Vietnam while I wait for the result?

The Thai Embassy in Vientiane, Laos will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 01 January 2025 with 10-15 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa. The last day for accepting in-person applications at Vientiane is 20 December 2024.

Again, the Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 26 November 2024 with 10 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa.

I have a visa non B from Kota Baru Malaysia. On the sticker visa, the end of the visa is 9 October but the officer at the border stamp 8 October.

Do you think it will be considered overstay if I leave on the 9 ?

From the Royal Thai Embassy - Phnom Penh Facebook page:

"The Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh will adopt the e-Visa application on 8th October 2024.

Last day of walk-in application: October 4th, 2024. Not much time left...

Hi there, just wondering if anyone went to Penang for Non B visa in the past few months? What is the process time and procedure?

Thank you in advance.

Good morning, I am currently on a 30 day visa exempt as I arrived in Thailand before the new rules started. Unfortunately due to circumstances my new school couldn’t Transfer my visa. Therefore I will be applying for a new non b. However I am married to a Thai citizen and mother to a Thai girl. I am just trying to figure out my best options:

1) Apply for a new non b at Vientiane?

2) Am I able to apply for Non O based on marriage or being a mother to a half Thai child in Thailand? Or will I need to apply at an embassy consulate outside Thailand as this will be my first time applying for this visa as I have been previously on a Non B?

3) Will I be able to get a work permit if I am on a Non O visa?
