Greetings, I have an American Passport and I am currently on a Non-B Visa with a work permit. My current contract expires on March 31 and my next contract at a new school will not start until May 1. So, it seems I cannot simply transfer my work permit and visa to my new school. What is the solution that does not involve leaving the country (if any). Thanks in advance.

Summary so far

The original query discusses the situation of an American passport holder on a Non-B visa with a work permit, facing a gap between contracts and seeking a solution to avoid leaving Thailand. Commenters note that recent regulations have changed the eligibility for covid extensions, typically allowing only tourists to benefit. Therefore, the individual might have to consider leaving the country to handle their visa situation.

Prior to 26-Jan, there was a possibility to bridge this gap with a covid extension. Unfortunately, a new order was signed that only tourists (visa exempt and TR) could qualify for the covid extension. You might have to leave. Cambodia, Singapore, and Philippines are open. Laos is open but only by arranged tour agencies. Vietnam and Malaysia are planning to open, but I doubt if they will by 31-Mar.
