Hello does anyone know if you have to be in Thailand to renew a 1 year work visa? What will happen if you cannot make it back before the visa expires?

Answer summary

To renew a 1-year work visa in Thailand, you must be physically present in the country. If your visa expires before you are able to return, you would need to start the process from the beginning.

Absolutely you have to be here to renew. If your visa expires before you can get here then it’s back to square 1.
