hello everyone, i am currently on a 1 year non-o visa, expires on end of october. My husband is considering to change company for his work permit and visa. the entire process will take about 4 or 5 months. In this case, can I extend our visas to cover this duration? or we have no choice but to renew when our current visa expires? thank you for your advices!
Answer summary
A user on a one-year Non-O visa seeks advice on extending her visa while her husband transitions to a new company, which may take 4 to 5 months. Responses clarify that the user likely has an extension of stay tied to her husband's employment, and that she can extend her visa as usual while advising to keep it updated with her husband's new work permit when he changes jobs.

Can you clarify what you mean by "the entire process"? Where in the process will your husband stop working for his current employer and where will he start working for his new employer?

There's no such thing as a 1-year non-O visa. You might have had a visa at one point, but you're on an extension of stay now.

Is your current extension of stay based on being a dependant of your husband who has a work extension?

There's absolutely no reason changing companies would take 4 or 5 months.

If your husband plans to stop working then both his and your extension will be invalid the moment he ceases employment and he will have to cancel the extension as of that date.

If he's just transitioning from one job to another, then his work extension can remain valid as long as he changes his work permit from one job to the other seamlessly.

the new company is just forming up, means it will take time to subscribe at social security, hire 4 thai to work and pay for their social security, etc, hence, it will take about 4 to 5 months before it can bring a foreigner in.

You extend as usual then, when the changes occur, get your visa status updated with the new work permit
