Hi all! Need advice from experienced expats in Thai immigration, please. My husband's work permit is valid until 5 Dec but his passport validity is less than 6 months now. He is renewing his passport meanwhile his company is trying to extend his work permit until Dec 30 with his old passport. The questions are:

1. can he get a retirement visa without getting out from Thailand?

2. if he gets visa stamped on his old passport, meanwhile he has a new passport, will there be any problem?

3. Is it possible to have his work permit extended with passport of less than 6 months validity?

Thank you in advance.

Hi guys, bit of a complicated situation. So I have a BOI company in Bangkok of which I am the Managing Director. My passport was stolen last year in Phuket and so the visa had to be transferred to my new passport. Apparently Immigration at OSSC Chamchuri Square made a mistake and transferred as non-b but my initial visa I enterred was non-ib. Now I need to extend my visa and single window system tells me I need to contact immigration to change from non-b to non-ib before being able to make the appointment for visa and work permit extension. With my extensive experience with visa and WP in Thailand, I have the feeling this probably won’t be possible as immigration would need to acknowledge that they did a mistake to change it which I don’t think they will. So I am already prepared to fly out and get a new non-b or non-ib and just apply for a new visa and Work Permit. Or anyone thinks there is a chance this might work? I am not in Bangkok right now, otherwise I would just go and ask of course but not sure if it is even worth it or just a waste of time. Maybe someone has experience with this or has been in a similar situation before.

Many thanks, Carl!

To extend non b visa? How much time in advance can it be done? And how long takes it to be done?

Thanks

Just got my non immigrant b and the stamps are huge taking up a whole page. As this is renewable every 90 days does rhat mean I will have to get a new stamp every 90 days taking up yet more space in my passport ? My WP is for 1 year straight.

Few questions

* If my work permit is registered in Surat Thani, can I work in other provinces in Thailand?

* If my work permit expired week ago, can I still renew with some penalty, or need to make new one?

Thank you for any help.

Is it ok to ask for a recommendation for an agent?

Looking for someone who can arrange a B-visa and work-permit extension for a colleague

Did someone do the Non-B visa extension + Work permit Extension?

What documents do I need? can it be done without a lawyer? price?

Just out of curiosity, I hope the admin allow me to ask. Is anyone ever done work permit extensions by oneself? Not using agent. Because the agent is quoting a very high fees.

Hello

If I have a work permit and non B which expires at the end of January is my employer able to extend it for me if they want to continue my employment? I will of course discuss with them but I just wanted to hear others experiences. Thank you and have a nice day.

I have a question on this renewal after 1 year as to space in passport. Once the wp is extended and you go to immigration, is the extension just 'extended' again (a date change notation only) or is it a whole new NonB that will be extended again (2 pages in passport). I have heard it is a date change, but want to be sure as my passport is getting full.
