Hi,

I am 64 years old, living in Bkk (again) since 3 years on a retirement visa (Non-O/A). My previous employer (2005-2009), a Thai company would like to hire me again. Is it possible to change my actual Visa back to a Non-B (I think that's the one I had at that time) with work permit without leaving the country?

Maybe someone here has already had the experience or the knowledge before I start a difficult journey at the immigration in Bkk.

Thanks to all helpful comments/advises.

I know people who have done this in the past so I assume that it is still possible. Your future employer might be able to help ease the process. 

Not an issue well it never use to be but assuming all the thai whisky Official's have consumed since 1979! No guarantee????

No problem, but it is your new employer job to do so. You just have to show up at the appointment in Bangkok.

 

I did it (at a different Immigration office), but I had to leave the country.

Quick question, are you married or single?

I am on a retired Visa, not want to change to married Visa. However I got the answers: Need to leave the country, cancel retirement Visa on check-out at airport immigr. and apply abroad for a new Non-A with all the docs from company, invitation letter etc etc....

 

Thx to those who wanted to help in here
