Hi. My 1 year non immigrant b visa will end soon. The company plan to extend on 7th February at Chaengwattana. I have a trip on the 15th February but if I remember right there is a 1 month wait before you go back to get the actual stamp put in.
My questions now:
1) I canโt remember if they hold my passport after the application and if they do, how long?
2) Am I able to leave the country whilst thatโs under review?
Thank you so much
TLDR : Answer Summary
You can leave Thailand while your Non-Immigrant B visa extension is under review, but you need to obtain a re-entry permit. This permit is valid only for the 30-day under consideration stamp issued after you apply for the extension. It's essential to return before the stamp expires to complete the visa extension process.
