Hi everyone I need some advice. I got my work visa for company A for three months by leaving the country. I then got my 6 month work permit for company A after coming back to Thailand. Company A recently opened company B for digital services ( different scope than company A) and moved me and my work permit to company B. My work permit now has company B and removed company A. I wanted to apply for visa extension and the lawyer said I wasn’t allowed to switch companies in the first three months and the extension will have to be with the company that I got my visa for (company A). Is this true? I thought you can switch companies during the first three months with the visa since it’s not an extension but an actual visa
I have 2 quick questions. Can I get a retirement visa and then switch it over to a marriage visa? Second question: If I got a retirement visa in January, would I be able to leave in February and come back in April or May without issue? I appreciate your opinions.
Me again folks... I started from scratch and got it right this time. I will apply for a non-immigrant O visa. I'm already in Thailand, as I said yesterday, so I plan to go to Vietnam in a few weeks to send my application to the thai embassy in Hanoi.
According to what I just read, it can take between 3 to 15 days to get the visa. Is that accurate in most cases? If not, it makes it hard to plan a return date.
Also, in the requirements it says I need financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB, which I have. But the canadian embassy does no longer give a certificate of income. The pension fund I have gave me an official letter stating how much money I get from them monthly. Is that good enough for the thai immigration or will I need a balance of 800,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter)? Thanks again for your help, it's very appreciated.
So I got my 90 day non-o (marriage) single entry visa in England, waited 6 weeks in Thailand, applied for and recently got my 1 year extension (first time doing here), got my multi-entry permit and am good until October 2026.
Looking to next year extension I will have 9 months left in my passport when the extension ends. What are the options as I would need 12 months to do another extension? I heard visas can't be used once your passport is renewed.
If I go to UK and renew my passport October 2026, I would have to get another 90 day single entry visa in UK, wait 6 weeks in Thailand to apply for 1 year extension again, then wait 30 days again for processing? Or because I've had already done an extension in Thailand, would the processing time be less even though it's a new passport and new visa.
I have more than 1 passport, want to unfreezes my bank account with temporary retirement visa and settle all good in my original country and Thai, before moving

When on a non-o based on marriage to a Thai woman Is it allowed that a bank account drops under the 400k for a short period about 5 months prior to a new extension?
