Please help/ advice:

My colleague is holding NonB visa which ends on 30th June.

Is now lock out of Thailand due to no flight/ Covid19 and not see much chance to be back in June to renew this.

1. Let it go and start all over again is the answer ?

Anything can be done from his employer in Thailand or himself in France?

Thank you very much ka

TLDR : Answer Summary
The colleague, holding a Non-B visa expiring on June 30, is currently locked out of Thailand and unable to return due to COVID-19. The main options discussed include letting the current visa go and starting all over again, or having the employer prepare the necessary documents for a single-entry Non-B visa to facilitate re-entry into Thailand.

For his employer, one of choice is that they can prepare documents to be sent for him to get a single entry Non-B before he would back to Thailand. They need to do all process again anyway. Personally, I think getting non-B single to enter Thailand again is better way than enter Thailand on tourist status and proceed.

Your #1 is the answer.

If they're out of thailand now and can't get back before the visa or the extension expires, they start all over again..
