New Question

I work in Thailand and I am married to a Thai citizen. Presently I have a Non-Immigrant B working visa. I found a new job in a different province. My current school will cancel my visa and work permit on my last day of employment with them. I went to the Thai immigration office today to ask some questions. The immigration officer told me the following:

1) Since I am married to a Thai citizen, I can get a one-time 30 day extension of my Non Immigrant B visa for the purposes of visiting my wife.

2) During these 30 days my visa status will continue to be a Non-Immigrant B visa.

3) During these 30 days I can transfer the visa to my new school.

I have been living in Thailand for 25 years and change jobs several times but I have never hear of anything like this. Are these 3 points correct?

Dear all,

My non-B visa and workpermit expires on the same day in June, I'm moving to different province from Bangkok and my new company ( school ) is preparing papers for workpermit as well as non-B visa.

What are the process, specially for transferring workpermit, in my opinion, first step is to transfer the workpermit ( there's something about cancelling and reapplying on a same day which I am not very familiar with).

Once it's done on a same day the visa stays same and safe till June, is that right?

Which makes me think I should tell my new company to do the workpermit process ASAP.

Please advise

Work permits .. Is the new law, (published Nov 2018) in place re: Transfer of your work permit to ANY employer (or even job type), and/ or any district / town without voiding the permit, or having to obtain a new one? Apparently, the only requirement is that you inform the Departement of labour, and obviously only for job tipes that we are allowed to perform.

Hi, I’m currently working under a thai local company but I want to inquire about forming my own company and procedure of it. Also, if I form my company can I transfer my current work permit and annual visa to that company? Please advice. Thanks!
