In short, i am in Thai since almost 10 years, working for a german company here in bkk.
Workpermit and Non B are valid until 20 of October 2020.
Last Week, they told me, my contract will be terminated at 1.7.20 (but thats another issue).
So far so good, i understand they will cancel my workpermit within next week.
First question, how about my visa.... will it be valid until October, or will it be invalid after WP cancelation ? If invalid, any time frame to get a new visa ?
Next question regarding new visa. Since i am planing to stay here for the next years, what kind of visa(s) i can going for ?
I am 57 now, my home since 10 yesrs is Thai. Heard there are 2 Retirement visas (1 year and 10 years) with the requirements of 800k or 3 mio thb, what can be fulfilled.
Btw, i am not married with a Thai yet, no children.
Add question to retirement visa.... Lets say i get a retirement visa, i am allowed to work ?
Guess the answer is - no, how to do if i want to start a new job in mid terms. Just cancel the retirement visa back to B visa ?
Or are there any other ways or kinds of visas i can going for... Permanent Resident or whatever ?
Thanks a lot , Mike
