June 28, 201016 yr Hi I am leaving my job and starting a new one this week but not sure what to do. The new school says i need to get a tourist visa, is there any way i can stay in thailand and get my visa non b changed to a 30 day tourist visa. Or do I have to leave the country and get my visa 30 day from re-entering into the bkk airport?
June 28, 201016 yr You cannot work with a Tourist Visa. You need a Non B Visa which you already have. Assuming it is a Visa and not an extension.
June 28, 201016 yr Are you on a non-B visa and do you have a permission to stay from at the border or are you on a extension of stay and did you get your permission to stay from the immigration office? If the last, you have to leave the country and do that on the last day of your employment or get a 7 day extension from immigration.
June 28, 201016 yr Re-entering at the airport will not give you a tourist visa, which is what you new employer has asked you to get. You would get a tourist visa from a Thai Embassy or Consulate.
June 28, 201016 yr Author errrr but what about the 30 days every person in thailand gets when they enter the country?
June 28, 201016 yr errrr but what about the 30 days every person in thailand gets when they enter the country? That is a visa exemption, not a visa. I suggest you clarify with your employer as there is no reason for them to ask you to get a tourist visa.
June 28, 201016 yr Author Well they have told me that I need to get a tourist 30 day visa. They can't transfer my old non - b over
