Can I Get a New Work Permit with an Extended Non-B Visa in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTER

I have entered Thailand the last time with a Non-B visa for work. I have declined the school's offer to renew and got a new job.

I paid the 1900 baht and got under consideration for 14 days and got a phone call yesterday that my visa extension is ready. They just did it for me today. I asked about the 90 days until July new rules they said they haven't officially got it and maybe it will be there on the 28th.

My question is, can I get a new work permit now that my visa is extended? Or do I still need to go out of Thailand for another Non-B

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user has extended their Non-B visa after changing jobs and inquires whether they can obtain a new work permit based on the extension or if they must leave Thailand to apply for a new Non-B visa for the new employer. Comments suggest that new work permits are only possible with the same employer and that the user may need to leave the country to secure the correct visa for the new employment.

If you can not find a flight to leave the country, you can stay using this amnesty rule, but you are not allowed to work as you have no Work Permit and no visa that allows you to work.

Yes, you applied for an Emergency extension as you can not leave the country. Now you have to leave the country and apply there for a new Non Immigrant B visa when you like to start to work inside Thailand.

Or did you apply with a letter from your Embassy that you are unable to leave the country and got the 14 day under consideration stamp. And now at the end of these 14 days a new 1 day Extension of Stay ?
