Can I switch my visa extension from employment to marriage without quitting my job in Thailand?

@Jocelyn *****

getting a one year extension of stay based on marriage to a male Thai national is the easiest extension of stay to acquire since it doesn’t have any income requirements. You should be able to get PR/ Citizenship as well easily.

I don’t know why the immigration office is telling you to quit your job though.

@Jocelyn *****

sorry that is 100% false. You can change the reason for your extension when it comes due from one based on employment to one based on marriage to a thai. AND you can still work/hold a work permit on a married to a thai or raising half thai children extension too

I asked my employer to cancel my current visa which is non-b at the time, local immigration told me to quit my job but the fact is you have to stop talking too much with this officers cos so many of them barely knows solution to certain circumstances and they just give u advice that can ruin your sanity, I believe

@Tod ********

and some pple here will help you more but straight from experience I didn’t quit my job. From now till 2 week of October make sure get all your documents and requirements ready and satisfied where needed, tell your employer that’s if you are on non-b to cancel this visa for you and immigration gonna give temporary extension till they consider your marriage extension. That doesn’t affect your work and current working permit at all, just letting you know marriage visa can work and have multiple working permit from different employer as long as your job don’t clash or working permit on personal business
