Hi everyone, I have some questions about the visa that hopefully you can help me.
Basically, I’m currently working in Nakhon Si Thammarat with Non-Immigrant B Visa and my contract will finish on 20th May.
I’ll start a new job in Bangkok on 23th May and I have some questions about the new Non-B visa application.
So by the time my visa and work permit is canceled on 20th May
1. How many days of “extension” the immigration office normally gives? I think it’s 7 but I would like to be sure.
2. After my Non-Immigrant B get cancel, can I apply for the new Non-Immigrant B being in Thailand? In that case, I have to apply for a new visa or there is an option to transfer my current the visa?
3. To apply for the new Non-Immigrant B Visa, I have to apply 15 days before? I read that but I’m not sure because as far as I know you can not apply for a new visa if you still have one .
4. In the hypothetical situation that my documents are not ready by 23th May and I have to overstay in Thailand. It’s possible to apply for Non-Immigrant B in the overstay situation? Or in this case do I have to apply first for tourist visa?
5. Are they still giving COVID visa?
6. Normally people will apply 1st for Non-Immigrant B Visa and after that for Work Permit, right?
Thanks
