Can I legalize my stay in Thailand after a two-week overstay on a Non-B visa?
Hello if I have a two weeks overstay in my three month non b visa because when I went for one year extension immigration demanded for a document I didn't have at the moment and I needed time to get it but time wasn't on my side,I have valid workpermit and all needed documents can I still legalize my stay...if not and I exit to malysia for a new non b can I be able to come back to Thailand after clearing my overstay
Summary so far
The questioner is facing a two-week overstay on a three-month Non-B visa due to requirements for a document needed for a one-year extension. They inquire whether they can still legalize their stay with a valid work permit and necessary documents. Comments suggest checking the validity of the work permit, options to renew the visa at the local immigration office, and possible solutions from the immigration office regarding paying the overstay fine.

Better check if your work permit is still valid, as they usually expire when your visa expires.

Ah, I see, the other way round. But then why is it that if you go out on a non-B visa forgetting to get a re-entry permit, you have to go through the whole work permit process again?

@Peter ******
Your work permit doesn't expire with your visa, it has it's own expiry date. Although your NON-B visa will expire within 7 days or so, once your work permit is not valid anymore.

Why didn't u just renew your none immigrants B visa at your local immigration office? ? I've heard no paperwork needed in great details if just renewing it, but getting your first one then that's a different kettle of fish
Andrew ******
That's what I'm talking about mate lol go to your local immigration office after a year with new paperwork from The company's u work for

, again, what they don't do is renew either a visa OR an extension of stay. Extensions of stays are granted for no longer than a year at a time, then you go back to the immigration office with another pile 'o paperwork and apply for a brand new extension.

Yes the company who u work for arrange the paperwork then just renew your none immigrants B visa at your local immigration office. My friends do it every single year here in Thailand

@And***
, your terminology is a little off :/You can NEVER EVER renew a visa (of any type) inside or outside of thailand!
You apply for an extension of stay by following the criteria needed for that extension.

@And***
, FWIW: you need a "pile 'O paperwork" to get an extension of stay based on employment off a B visa here :O You don't just waltz in and ask for one.

Local immi will not do the extension on a non b if you have only a 50.000 wp , they will sent you to the border
Robert *******
And take all the needed copies with you, otherwise you would not get an Extension of Stay. Renew a visa not possible.
Andrew ******
Yes mate once u already have a none immigrants B visa for working within Thailand when its due to end u just go along to your local immigration office, but whoever u work for should have told u this
Shizel *******
OPYou mean one can renew a immigrant B visa inside Thailand
Shizel *******

You'd need to go to the immigration office and see if you can pay the overstay and then apply for your extension of stay.
I've had friends on as much as a month overstay be able to pay the overstay fine and then immediately get another year long extension of stay, but those were based on being over 50 (retirement) not employment..
I think the immigration office would be the place to ask..
