I currently have a Non-O marriage VISA and a Work Permit (new only 2 weeks old), VISA due to expire next month. My employer and I want to transfer it to a non-B VISA and recommend I leave the country to get it e.g Laos, get my non-B, re-enter Thailand and they will sort out the year extension. My employer said I have to go to CW immigration to cancel my current VISA before hand. It is a single entry VISA so I thought if I left the country it would just cancel it automatically. Is my employer correct? I have to cancel it in Thailand immigration first? Next question is about the non-B application process in Vientiane, Laos; is it a good place to do it? Is it smooth? I have been told some places are better than others. I work in a big International School, Work Permit, the school will provide all the documentation.

Non-immigrant O visa and work permit

I have a similar situation but the other way around. I currently have a Non-O marriage VISA and a Work Permit, VISA due to expire next month. My employer and I want to transfer it to a non-B VISA and recommend I leave the country to get it e.g Laos, get my non-B, reenter Thailand and they will sort out the year extension.

My stamp from immigration when I arrived in Jan has 'until November' (in according to my VISA or extension). I did a successful 90 day report online in March, got notified my next one is due 23rd on June, which is the one I'm doing. I've applied 4 times now and the rejections were house number, or telephone number and other reasons. Everyone is different but the information is the exact same as my successful 90 day application back in March.

I filled out the online forum yesterday and got the email with the PDF file for the TM47 application all nicely filled out with the status a pending. Received and email today saying my application has been rejected. I'm within the 15days, never missed one in the past. I've filled out another application and it says status pending again. any advice?

I did my 90 report this morning, thought I would share the experience. Last time I made an appointment for 9am which worked fantastically and I was in and out in 10 mins. This time with no appointment as the website is down I was expecting the worst, I was pleasantly surprised. I arrived just at 9am all of the seats were taken but the lady calls people up in groups of 10 so as soon as I pick up a form and filled it in there were seats available. I brought my earphones expecting I will have enough time to watch some TV but soon realised the lady was calling the next 10 up very quickly, so didn't bother. From walking in and walking out took 30mins. Walked in, filled out a form, joined the queue which maybe 10 people in, the lady (doing 3 different jobs, there was only 1 lady working, last time I was there there were 4) checked it and gave me a blue card with a number on, I sat down for 10-15mins, number 130 to 140 got called out then you walk to the office, stamp stamp, done. Very well organised, lots of social distancing. Twice in 2 days I have been impressed with Thailand and organising; yesterday I was vaccinated in and out in 1 hour and today with my 90 report. Normally I curse them for it but credit where credit is due. Special shout out to the lone lady doing 3 peoples job at 8:30am, she didn't rest for 3seconds when I was there. Checking documents, getting the next 10 people in the right order, shouting out the numbers in English and Thai all at the same time. I wouldn't be working that hard on a Monday morning.
