[Cancelling a Non-B at the airport, on the way out, or back in.]

i think you are confusing your work permit with your visa -->non-b is a visa. the visa automatically gets cancelled as you leave the country, but your employer, or you, must cancel the wp. you must then leave the country within 24hrs of cancelling the wp. you can get 7 day extension to buy you time...

 

Thanks, but not confused.

The work permit will expire on the 15th, but I prefer to leave a week before that and come back on a 30-day stamp.

If I didn't have a multi re-entry, I guess it would be simple.

However, what I don't want is the multi re-entry to be used and me only get a week (until the 15th).

I would like the IO to stamp me back in on a 30 day exempt stamp.

Maybe you are aware of the following, maybe you don't care. Then maybe just see it as information for others who read this.

 

As far as I know, a Non-B visa has to be cancelled before applying for a new Non-B visa.

Some time ago I worked for one company and my Non-B visa expired on the day of my flight out of the country.

I knew already that I would apply for a new Non-B visa from another company in the near future.

Several knowable people advised me to cancel my existing Non-B before I departed from Thailand to avoid trouble getting a new Non-B later. The fact that I left the country on the day when the existing Non-B expired was no reason not to cancel it.

 

So maybe keep in mind that now there won't be a problem if your Non-B is not cancelled. But this might make things more difficult for you in the future. 

Thank you.

I am not planning on another Non-B. I want a 30 day stamp for now, because I will leave Thailand again after a few weeks.

[Cancelling a Non-B at the airport, on the way out, or back in.]

My Non-B expires mid May, and I have a multi re-entry.

I don't want to leave it until the final day to leave. I want to leave a week before and return on a 30-stamp.

Does anyone have experience of asking the IO at the airport to either cancel the Non-B on the way out, or ignore it on the way back in, and giving a 30-day stamp instead?

I don't need or want advice on staying in the country and changing visas, or asking my employer to cancel it in advance. I just need to know if it's possible to do at the airport on the way out or back in.

Thanks in advance.

[Truck brake failure leads to fatal crash in Chiang Mai]

It could be one of three 'failures' including what @worgeordie said

- failure to apply the brakes, or driving to fast and the poor brakes failing to manage

- failure to have the brakes inspected and maintained like every vehicle should be

- failure to use engine breaking down hills instead of the actual brakes. Engine breaking is using a lower gear DOWNhill so that you don't overheat the actual brakes, which renders them useless in the time of need. EVERY driver should know this, especially drivers of manual gearbox buses in hilly areas!

[End of work permit options]

Ok, my visa and work permit expire on May 15th but I would like to leave Thailand a week before that and re-enter on a 30-day stamp.

I have a multiple re-entry, so the automatic process would be for them to stamp me in again on the same visa, for a week.

Does anyone have experience of asking the IO not to do that👆, and to just start with a 30-day stamp? Or maybe telling the IO when I leave.

The reason I ask is that I'm not sure how much I can trust my employer to cancel the Non-B visa.

What a load of BS from the Thaiger again.

 

NOBODY recovers from a critical illness in "just a few days" especially if they are supposed to have been in a hospital for 6 months before that.

 

It is however a report from the Thaiger, in which both the truth and the "Thaiger" are only tenuously connected.

 

The Thaiger also studiously ignores the fact that Thaksin was deposed in a military coup, and that NONE of the generals have ever been punished for it, nor for the subsequent military coups.

I think the Thaiger were a bit tongue in cheek!

[Single or Multi Non-O Marriage in Saigon?]

53 minutes ago, DrJack54 said:

If you plan to live ongoing in Thailand, personally I would do a single entry Non O based on marriage and subsequent annual extensions. You would also require a multiple reentry permit. 

You can obtain that in nearby consulates such as Saigon, Savannahket etc.

You could also just enter Thailand visa exempt and obtain Non O at Thai immigration. 

Note: Saigon requires an appointment. 

 

Assume you have a Thai bank account.  

Thanks Jack,

Thai bank account no problem.

But my question was about going out and coming back a lot, especially in the first few months and if I get a multi entry.

Also about the KR2 / 22 document, considering we got married in the UK

[Single or Multi Non-O Marriage in Saigon?]

I'm planning to apply for my first Non-O spouse visa in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh. A couple of questions.

 

#1 I'm planning on multiple trips out of Thailand, especially long before the first 90 days. I hear the multi entry forces you to leave every three months, but is there a limit? I'm happy to go out at least that much. Would a single entry Non-O with multi re-entry be better for me?

 

#2 I'm planning to follow the consulate's directions for what's needed, but to ask you guys, would just our UK marriage certificate be enough (plus passports, 400k proof, etc)? This Kor 2 / 22thing has never been anything I have needed before. We got married in the UK and I've been on a Non-B for 20+ years.

 

#3 If Saigon is a bad choice for any reason, please let me know. I could go elsewhere but prefer not to.

 

Thanks in advance

I hope you hand 50% to wild life conservation?!? Because if working elephants and even tourist elephant then there would be an almighty cull or starvation of these majestic animals. Your support for the abolishment of big game hunting and ending all domestication of animals is noble but keep your money flowing. Maybe increase your donation to 75%. 

50% of what?

How do you know I support the abolishment of big game hunting (which I do)?

Fox hunting has nothing to do with vermin or weak individuals in the 21st century.

You mean you push past passengers in seats in front of you? You wouldn't get past me. for sure.

I don't push past anyone. I stand up, and walk as far forward as is polite... which is easier without having to get and drag a carry-on bag.

What makes you think I push past people?

[What Would You Do?]

It's very frustrating if the space above your own seat is full, and your luggage gets put above seats behind you. Can you imagine having to walk through everyone the wrong way to get it.

But as others say, it's a free for all.

I actually put my bags in the first available space near the front, so I get get off the plane sooner.

[The dark secrets of Thailand’s elephant tourism industry]

There's no such thing as a domesticated elephant. These naturally-wild animals are only able to serve humans after being broken.

I have been guilty of attending elephant shows in the past, but from now on I will have nothing to do with shows or working elephants. Like orang utans and Pata Zoo's gorilla, some creatures are beyond the point of being released into the wild, and 'sanctuary is the best that they can hope for.... but I still harbour mistrust in many ASEAN 'organisations' who claim to be santuaries.

Thanks guys,

I'm eligible for spouse, retirement and dependent visas, although don't have 400k that has been there for long enough.

Did I read somewhere higher in the thread that suggested the first non-O multiple entry visa (marriage) might be possible with 400k just on the day of application? That's easy enough for me, but there's not enough time for the 2 or 3 month 400k requirement.

 

Thanks in advance.
