What is the process for an expat in Thailand to transfer schools while on a Non-B visa and work permit during visa amnesty?

She can probably transfer it with approval from both schools.. cancel the visa and immediately apply for an extension based on working for the new employer.

>The employer needs to cancel it right?

Your FRIEND needs to cancel her work permit, and potentially the extension of stay (“the stamp”). If your friend is currently on her original Non-B visa (“the sticker”), that will not need to be cancelled.

>Is she covered with visa amnesty

When she cancels her extension of stay based on employment, she will be on amnesty and can stay no later than July 31. However, she can not work while on amnesty.

>As it says, until July 31 right?

No, it is *NOT* until July 31. It is no later than July 31.

> Like no need for her to have border run?

If she is on the amnesty, it is automatic as soon as she cancels her extension of stay based on employment. However, she can not work on amnesty. She will have to leave Thailand, get another Non-B visa for employment purposes if she wants to work as a teacher.

>What is the process?

Generally, she’ll take her work permit and letter of resignation to the labor office and cancel the work permit. She will then go to the immigration office and get the extension of stay based on employment cancelled. She will then be on amnesty.

>Any advice base on experience?

She can not work on amnesty, and the amnesty is not a “goof off” stay in Thailand for free visa.
