What Should I Do If I Don't Meet the Employee Ratio for My Non-B Visa Extension in Thailand?

Non-B Visa Work Permit Employee Ratio

May 26, 2020

5 years ago

ORIGINAL POSTER

I am currently on a Non B based on employment 

My extension of stay is due August 18th 

Our company is 7 million baht and has 3 work permits , in normal circumstances we had 29 thai employees but due to covid we now only have a handful , most are currently claiming either the 5 k per month (as they were not paying social) or are claiming via the government scheme,

My colleagues application for extension is already in , so if the 4 to 1 ratio is still in force that means i do not have enough employees to meet the requirements?

I vaguely recall something about the ratio being reduced but i may be wrong? is there a solution?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster is seeking guidance on extending their Non-B visa based on employment, mentioning that their company has significantly fewer Thai employees due to COVID-19. They are concerned about not meeting the required employee ratio for the extension as their colleagues have already applied. The comments suggest consulting legal and immigration experts, as there have been no official announcements regarding a reduction in the employee ratio requirements.

As I'm named and to stay in the mindset of this page, phone or visit your local Immigration Office. There were announcements of the Ministry of Labor about Thai staff and Work Permits but I did not see any announcement or change in Immigration rules.

We have not seen reports of reduced requirements.

Best to check with your lawyer and accountant as they are most familiar with obtaining the permits to give Thai immigration.

We wish you well...many are in similar straits in dealing with extensions, work permits and various visas.

Possibly

will reply too...Take care...Good Luck.
