Hi all! Need advice from experienced expats in Thai immigration, please. My husband's work permit is valid until 5 Dec but his passport validity is less than 6 months now. He is renewing his passport meanwhile his company is trying to extend his work permit until Dec 30 with his old passport. The questions are:
1. can he get a retirement visa without getting out from Thailand?
2. if he gets visa stamped on his old passport, meanwhile he has a new passport, will there be any problem?
3. Is it possible to have his work permit extended with passport of less than 6 months validity?
Thank you in advance.
