Hello! I am hoping you can clarify an issue for me that I can't seem to get a definite answer on.
I'm currently employed (Canadian citizen) and have a work permit until June 30. Does the visa extension also cover me until July 31, or do (and CAN) I flip to a tourist visa in July? Ideally I would like to stay in Thailand for another 6 months.
Any insight and advice would be so very much appreciated! TIA~!🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is a Canadian citizen currently holding a work permit until June 30 and is seeking clarification on whether their visa extension would also last until July 31, or if they can switch to a tourist visa in July. Community comments suggest that if the user holds a Non-B visa, they may be allowed to stay until July 31 through an amnesty program. If they stop working and are on an extension of stay based on their employment, they must cancel their work permit and extension before switching visas. It is advised to check with official immigration sources for definitive answers.
