Hello, i have a question about work permit renewal. to apply for non-b 1 year your wp has to be valid 8+ months. today some "agent" told me it's not possible to renew work permit during the year, only 1 month or less till its going to expire. is that true? if you have to have 8+ months to get visa you must have a possibility to update your work permit to fullfill the requirements. thx
TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry addresses the rules regarding renewing a work permit in Thailand when applying for a non-B visa. The author mentions needing the work permit to be valid for more than 8 months to meet the non-B visa requirements and questions the validity of information provided by an agent stating that renewals can only happen one month or less before expiration. Commenters suggest that it is necessary to synchronize the work permit and visa validity periods and recommend consulting with the Ministry of Labor for specific guidance.
