Hi. I need some advice please. My husband is on a B Visa with a work permit through the company who employs him, and I'm on an O Visa (3 years now). However our circumstances have changed and he would like to open a company here in Thailand, and he'll obviously get his own work permit. Do we need to leave the country to get new Visa's or can our current Visas be "transferred" to the company he will start (registration and paperwork being done through a Thai bookkeeper/lawyer) ?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The current situation involves a husband on a B Visa with a work permit who wishes to open a company in Thailand, while his spouse holds an O Visa. The consensus from community comments indicates that new visas and work permits will be necessary; they cannot be transferred from the existing employment. Specifically, if there is a change in employment or if he starts a new business, they would need to follow the appropriate procedures to obtain new visas and work permits.
