TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is concerned about their boyfriend who recently secured a work permit but missed the expiry date to extend his non-B visa. Community members advise that he needs to address the situation with immigration urgently since he currently has no valid visa. Options discussed include potentially obtaining a COVID-19 extension or preparing for a fine due to overstaying.

Yes he has no valid visa at this moment, if he can get COVID extension that's the only way he can stay there ,but otherwise he has to leave ASAP,he will be charged 500 baht for every day that he stayed in thailand after the expiry date of non-imm visa

If he "missed the deadline," does that means he's on overstay?

after he got WP he needs to apply for business visa! After non b, only business visa. No extension of non b

If his Non-B has expired then it's finished, he'll need to apply for a new one. The bigger issue is if he's on overstay. If he is, he needs to go to immigration on Monday (no later), pay the overstay fine (500 baht per day) and apply for a "covid unable to travel extension."

That doesn't make sense. He's either on a Non-B, on a visa exempt entry, or in the country illegally on overstay. And if he went to immigration, he can't be on overstay.
