SOLVED (update)
Here is what I did on my personal case, I had to renew my Work permit first and then extend my work visa Non -b
* renew the Work permit first at Nonthaburi, it was very easy. With the proper documents it was done in 20minutes. I paid 6100THB for a 2 years extension of my work permit.
* Then I went to Nonthaburi immigration and renewed my work visa extension with the same documents that I had to provide last year. If you have to use Nonthaburi immigration, keep in mind that they are searching for any reasons to not validate your documents (missing a stamp here, signature there...). They purposely ask for some more documents that are not on the list, then when you give them all they will ask for some more, etc etc. Be aware that it will take a few trips if you don't use an agent (5 for me). Paid the regular 1900THB for the extension.
Hi everyone,
I've been working in Thailand since 1 year already and I have to renew my work Visa and my Work Permit.
End of my 1 year visa is 16 October 2021
End of my work permit is 06 October 2021
Next 90 days : 23 September 2021
For the 1 year work Visa extension, I will have to provide again the same updated documents from my company that I presented the first time, right?
And for the work permit, what is the procedure? Do I have to get my visa extended before applying for the work permit?
In which order do I have to do things and do I have to hurry? I am a bit confused as it's the first time 😅
TIA,
TLDR : Answer Summary
To renew a Non-B work visa and work permit in Thailand, first renew your work permit at the Nonthaburi office, which can be done quickly if you have the proper documents (cost: 6100THB for a 2-year extension). Next, go to the Nonthaburi immigration with the same documents to extend your work visa (cost: 1900THB). Be prepared for potential document requests and delays at immigration. Always communicate with your HR department regarding necessary documents and procedures, and remember that limits and rules may vary by immigration office.
