Hi all, I have a non-B from a Thai company here. There is also a BOI company in the final stages of incorporation that I will be formally hired under. The BOI company is in some ways a sister company to the Thai company that I have my non-B for. My non-B is expiring soon and I'll be here on the amnesty after that. Pre-COVID I would have just left the country for a few days and gotten another non-B but that's not an option right now obviously. I'm finding the information quite difficult to come by. Is there a possibility to transition from the non-B under the Thai company onto a BOI work permit directly or is there another interim visa required? (Meaning a trip out of Thailand). Thanks in advance!
Answer summary
The user is currently holding a Non-B visa sponsored by a Thai company and is facing expiration soon. They are in the process of being hired by a BOI company and seek guidance on transitioning to a BOI work permit without needing to leave Thailand, especially given the current travel restrictions. Comments suggest reaching out to the BOI company's one-stop service center for streamlined processing, while others mention the necessity of exiting Thailand to apply for a new visa.

I think that Non B (business visa) and non IB (business visa under a BOI company) are 2 different types of visa. It s suggested to leave the country to apply for a non IB then extending it.

Non-IB is for investment. Not for employment by BOI company or not.

Two different visa, it all depends on your employer and the BOI.

If your new employer is a BOI company they can contact the one stop service center in Bangkok, they will handle all at one office, work permit, visa etc. Good luck
