ORIGINAL POSTER

Good evening, 

Is it possible to get an 'Extension 60 Day Family Visit' on a Non-B visa expiring on 31st March ( Irish passport ) ? This Non-B visa was linked to my previous employer with extension of stay and WP. 

I also have in my possession a letter from the Irish Embassy (unable to travel due to Covid-19 extension letter). This would be my second choice if It's not possible to get a 60 Day Family visit extension.

Thanks very much in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about the possibility of obtaining a 60-day family visit extension on their Non-B visa, which is about to expire. They also mentioned having an extension letter from the Irish Embassy due to Covid-19 as a backup option.

Non B linked with an Extension of Stay and WP from previous employer? YOu can not change employers and keep using the WP and Extension of Stay.

Late update for Friday March 27th: We arrived at 5:40 a.m and we were finished by 10 a.m. I did have to cancel the non-b before I was able to apply for 60 days extension of stay based on visiting Thai family which was granted. All very fast and efficient considering I had two things to do. Also it was the first morning that people with tourist visas were asked to go to a different location so we were lucky in that respect.

just go to the Immigration Office and ask if they can give you the 60 day Extension of Stay based on visiting Thai family, they can see your passport and what kind of stay you have inside.

Thanks Robert, yes my contract expires 31st March, but I have documents from my school which asks immigration to cancel the visa on the 31st March even if I go on a date before then.

If you are on an Extension of Stay it should be cancelled the day you changed or stopped working,

Thanks Robert, I don't want to change employers or keep the WP. I would like to get a Extension 60 Day Family Visit based on being married to a Thai. Is it possible to get this extended onto my current Non-B which will expire on the 31st of March?We have all the necessary documents for the Extension 60 Day Family Visit and my wife will be present with me tomorrow. Thanks in advance
