I have been reading everyone’s post for quite a while and now the time has come for me to seek some advice .
I have a work permit expiring in August 2022, and a non- IMM B visa that expires in the 4th December 2021. The company employing me can no longer meet the requirements to enable them to renew my visa.
As I understand it now I need to cancel the work permit and the current visa and apply for a new visa for retirement . I really do not know how I can do all of this in one day.
How long do they give you between cancelling a work permit and being able to arrange a new visa ?
I have enough money in my savings account to meet the visa requirements and the balance has been over a million baht for about 6 months.( but cannot prove it all comes from outside the country)
Am worried I am running out of options. Any suggestions
TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat seeks guidance on transitioning from an expiring work permit and non-IMM B visa to a retirement visa in Thailand. With the current employer unable to renew the visa, the enquirer is unsure about the process, especially regarding the timeline for canceling the work permit and obtaining a retirement visa. Community responses clarify that they can cancel the work permit in advance, and that they do not need to prove the source of funds for the retirement visa, only maintaining the required amount in a Thai bank account for two months.
