What is needed to keep one's work permit valid if you change from a B Visa to an O Visa? Can you notify the MOL of the change and use the existing work permit or is a new work permit required?

Answer summary

When changing from a B Visa to an O Visa in Thailand, it's essential to ensure that your existing work permit remains valid. Generally, you do not need to change your work permit immediately unless specifically required. It is advisable to notify the Ministry of Labor (MOL) about the visa change. If you are obtaining a Non-O visa that allows you to work, such as one based on marriage to a Thai national, make sure it is explicitly for work purposes. You may also consider consulting the MOL for any specific requirements regarding your work permit and job description.

Remember, if you do change it to a Non-O, get a Non-O visa that lets you work (i.e. A non-O visa based on being married to a Thai).

You could ask the Ministry of Labor where you got the Work Permit. But this booklet only has your personal details and describes that you are allowed to work for named employer at the address mentioned and do as described as your job. It does not need any changes if you change your visa.
