Exclamation Tourist visa ontop of employment

Howdy,

I am currently in Bangalore under a 6 month employment visa which expires at the end of January - as does my work opportunities. Before I go back home, I want to do some traveling up north but will not have a valid visa. Can I obtain a tourist visa in Thailand (im going for xmas) when I already have an active employment visa? Please let me know any suggestions you have. Thanks. Also, my girlfriend is in the same situation except hers is a 6 month tourist visa - can she get an extension or a new tourist visa in thailand? Thanks for your help!

The answer is Yes, however once they issue a Tourist visa during Xmas, your Employment visa will automatically be cancelled. Hence, the last month - January, if you do work, it will be illegally.

YMMV

Thanks. What about getting a tourist visa while you already have an active tourist visa?

Again, whatever new visa you are granted would automatically cancel the existing visa, regardless of type.

Where it gets dicey is that India is tightening up on back-to-back tourist visas, as noted in numerous threads on IM.
