Can My Girlfriend Return to Thailand on a 30-Day Exemption After a Burma Bounce?

And seeing that this thread is hijacked by

@Christina ********

I opened a new topic for her, . This one is closed due to hijacking.

If she leaves on the border she will need a letter of termination of work permit. Return is easy in a 30 day but maybe stay one night Myanmar side.

The company is moving her inside the company and adding a second work place, second job tittle and second job description into her Work Permit. Nice but have absolute nothing to do with her legal stay and using a Non Immigrant B visa. If she can not use this visa just because she past the Valid Until date she has three options:

Visit local Immigration Office and apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay.

OR

Visit with a lot of documents a Thai Consulate to apply or a new Non Immigrant B visa

OR

Do as advised, stop working, cancel work permit and make a border run for the 30 day Visa Exempt Entry and enjoy your holidays

And First go to the office for Labor they can only the connection.. But if the School tell you already... They know it...

Check

Well visa B is connected to the companies who employ you. Normal written by the imi officer on Top.... If nothing is mentioned their may be easier

All up to immigration mate, no one can give you answer.

Is she no extension or direct entry from the visa? How they can proceed depends on that. If she is not on extension yet, maybe difficult to change inside country, but still it's worth to check because she is changing between related companies. If she is on extension, since both emplyers are related, in theory, not difficult to change the WP and reason for extension inside country.

Better to check Surathani immigration office and Ministry of Labor in there if they can let you do in-country changing.

What city is she in? I know some areas can convert a visa exempt to a Non-B, and some can't.

For her being allowed back into Thailand on a visa exempt, yes, she will be allowed to return. I highly recommend the Kanchanburi/ Myanmar border.

I think nobody can really answer that, but since it's not allowed to work on a 30 day exempt, proving that you actually "work", might not help the case.
