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?

What happens with regards to your visa if you are working for a company in Thailand and:

1. You decide to quit your job because you don't like it and you plan to search for another job.

2. You are fired from your job.

Is there some kind of grace period where you can stay and search for further employment?

Thanks.

Hi everyone, currently I am on a Covid visa which will be reconsidered on the 10th March for a last extension.

If by that time and I even manage to get an extension to stay, I get a job offer, can the employer change the status of my visa or not. I am due to meet my prospective employers next week and I want to have an idea if anything can be done .

Thanking you in advance for your advice and support.

Hi all - quick question - if you're getting your 1 year extension of stay based on employment at Chaengwattana is it possible to get a multiple re-entry permit on the same day? Thanks in advance!
