I had a Non-Imm B visa with Work permit and extension of stay. After second year my work decided not to extend another year so it expired/canceled on September 20th. On October 4th I got my Non-Imm O based on marriage. Now work wants me to do project in Thailand again.

My question is am I able to get short term Work Permit on Non-Imm O visa? They are checking with Labor tomorrow but I figured I’d know quicker here.

I don’t want to cancel current visa just to get B and 15 day WP. Then have to apply for Non-I’m O again.

I’m pushing them to issue B visa with WP and extension again but they let last one expire due to tightening regulations and tax laws. I don’t work in country often.

If they agree to Non-Imm B with work Permit I assume I have to leave Thailand to apply. Where is the best/quickest place to do this?

This site has been fantastic for the short amount of time I’ve been a member. Thanks.
Answer summary
A Non-Imm O visa based on marriage allows the holder to obtain a work permit and legally work in Thailand without the need to switch to a Non-Imm B visa. Therefore, you can pursue a short-term work permit on your current Non-Imm O visa.

and we're done. The answer is the O/P can indeed get a work permit on a Non-O visa or extension based on marriage to a thai. The do NOT need to change to another type of visa .

If you have a Non-O visa/extension based on marriage to a thai national you can hold a work permit and legally work without the need to change to a different visa or cancel your extension.

OP
@Tod ********
no extension of stay as I am not in country for 90 days at a time so border bounce is not a problem. It is good to know I should be able to get WP. Thank again Tod.
