Switching jobs but leaving/coming back on visa exempt.....how risky?

[hydraides]

Has anyone recently left a job/Thailand (After being on a Non-B/Work permit.......

 

and returned to thailand within the next few days on a visa emept 30 day entry?

 

Were you successful, did you go back by land or air?

 

I've been teaching in thailand for 1 year on a Non-B/Work permit and want to switch jobs and need a new visa exempt

 

How risky do you think it is for me?

I had a Non-B and my first job ended.

I knew I would get a new job in about three months.

So I left Thailand on the day when my original Non-B expired and I applied in a Thai Embassy for a tourist visa and I visited Thailand with that tourist visa.

And then, almost 3 months later, I went out again to the same embassy and I applied for the new Non-B of the new employer.

All fine.

 

Just make sure you have all the necessary documents.

I you apply for a tourist visa you need to have a flight booked out of Thailand when you apply for the visa.

For a business visa you don't need that flight out, but lots of other documents.

 

And make sure your old Non-B is cancelled before you leave. That is necessary to be able to apply smoothly for the new Non-B. And this is necessary even if you think all is fine because you leave on or before the expire date. Be aware of possible mistakes which you can't easily fix in the hindsight.

Not risky at all. Only as @OneMoreFarang posts. Have all the documents.
