Hello, 

I am currently living  in Leam Chabang . I came with TR visa and today I went to extend it but Si Racha Immigration refused to extend . They informed only 7 days will be granted. 

My friend asked me to cross borders but still as I am a Sri Lankan we arent allowed to cross borders. I am willing to work here. 

.  1. Is there a super easy immigration to get a covid Visa until I find a job  ? 

2. What are the documents needed for Non B ? 

3. And is Toeic exam compulsory to work in Thailand ( as non natives )  ? 

Please guide me with information. It would be a great help

Answer summary

A Sri Lankan expat in Leam Chabang is inquiring about options for extending a TR visa after being granted only a 7-day extension by Si Racha Immigration. The individual seeks information on a 'COVID visa' for job searching, the necessary documents for a Non-B visa, and whether the TOEIC exam is mandatory for employment in Thailand. Responses note that the COVID visa is no longer available, that a Non-B visa's documents are typically provided by schools, and confirm that the TOEIC exam is required for work permits.
