What should a teacher in Bangkok know about changing jobs and visa implications on a Non-B visa?
Hope to get some advise for my friend. He is a teacher in Bangkok and stuck in a tough situation. He has his 3 month non B sticker issued in Bangkok 2 months ago and waiting for the school to apply for his work permit before the non b expires. He wants to leave and find another job asap due to a bad working environment. His questions are. 1. How would this affect his non b which he got based on his current school 2. how would this affect his chance of getting a wp with a new employer 3. can the current non b be transferred to a new school here in Thailand? 4. Can a non b be switched to an ED visa? Hope for some advise since. Have a nice day.
Answer summary
A teacher in Bangkok with a 3-month Non-B visa is facing challenges due to a poor work environment. Key considerations include:
1. Quitting the job won’t immediately affect his current Non-B visa; he can stay in Thailand using the 90-day stamp.
2. He must consult with potential new employers regarding work permit applications.
3. The Non-B visa cannot be transferred to a new employer as it is company-specific.
4. Switching from a Non-B visa to an ED visa (education visa) is not permitted. An extension of the existing visa is only possible through the current employer's work permit.

I doubt he can apply for a 60 day covid extension either to allow time to find a new job. The only way of extending his current visa is with a work permit with his current employer. It looks like finding a new job and getting a new non b in the next month is his only remain in Thailand option.

This is not the time to be changing jobs.
Be thankful you are in Thailand and have a job.

1 - he can stay in thailand on the 90 day stamp he got from the Non-B visa even if he quits.
2 - He would need to talk to his new employer about that
3 - No, it can't be used if he finds a job with another employer, Non-B visas are company specific
4 - No it can't be changed to any other type of visa.
