I am on a non-O immigrant visa, expiring Dec 2021 ( 11 months left). I also have a work permit expiring Dec 2022. 

Planning to get a divorce next month. 

Question: Can I stay in Thailand after my divorce? Or need to fly out and re-apply for a non-B? 

Worried about: Divorce process automatically informing immigration and my non-O will be cancelled. And when I apply for a visa when my non-O visa, I might be fined / kicked out for overstaying on my non-O while I was divorced. 

Thanks!

Answer summary

A user is seeking advice on their non-O immigrant visa status following an impending divorce. They express concern about whether their divorce will automatically inform immigration, potentially leading to cancellation of their visa, and whether they need to leave Thailand to reapply for a non-B visa. Comments highlight that the divorce process does not automatically notify immigration, and that they can reapply for an extension based on employment if they meet the eligibility requirements.

The Amphur doesn't tell immigration you're divorced. YOU take the divorce decree from them to the immigration office and cancel your extension based on marriage.

True! If you meet minimum wage requirements (waived for teachers), you can convert your reason for staying from marriage to a Thai national to employment. You'll go to the immigration office, cancel your existing extension of stay based on marriage, and then turn around and apply for a new extension of stay based on employment.

First you need to say if you're on a real Non-O VISA (that you got from a thai consulate) OR if you are on an extension of stay (that you got from the immigration office
