Hello all and I hope all of you are safe. I hold a Non B visa and work permit but both of them expires on 30th April. I’ve resigned my job, so there is no way I can renew it. At the same time I can’t fly out of Thailand on 30th as my flights have been cancelled to my next destination. As per rule I’ve got to know that I need a letter from my embassy to extend my stay. But I’m confused about few things and please help me to clear those points out
1- How many days prior of my visa expiry, I can apply for this emergency extension ?
2- If I apply emergency extension one or two weeks before my non b expiry, then the date of the emergency visa starts from 30th April ( my non b expiry date ) or the day I apply the emergency extension
3- Do I have to cancel my work permit and existing Non B extension before I apply for this emergency extension?
Please help me with the answer and thank you all.
