Hi All. Just a question about work permit and visa.

I was working in a particular school after 1 month l am changing schools. Does the work permit get changed to the other school like a transfer . Or does the process start all again. Visa and WP cancelled and have ti leave the country and come back.

Please only those with previous knowledge or experience answer. Cheers

My wife is thinking of changing jobs. She has non b and I have non o visa. Her prospective employer says they will have her visa canceled and she will get a new one. What happens with my visa when hers gets canceled?

Good morning, I’m being furloughed on 24 April and on that day my work permit and Non-B extension of stay will be cancelled at the One Stop Service Center. I am not clear how long after the cancellation I will be allowed to stay legally — I’ve heard 24 hours, 7 days, and 20 days -- but won’t know for sure until I report to Immigration on the 24th for the cancellation. I have been hired by another company to begin work on 1 May, however, I will be unable to leave (or return to) the country to get a new non-B. My new company is in uncharted territory as well, and has provided me with the following documents to take to Chaeng Watthana:

1. TM86, application for change of visa though it appears from my research that this is only for Tourist to Non-B

2. TM7 for extension of stay, though it’s my understanding this would be valid only for the visa that will have been cancelled by the time the TM7 is presented.

Can anyone offer guidance as to what I need to do to successfully stay in Thailand while my new status is being sorted out? Thank you in advance.

Yesterday I was at Changwattana, and I received my 1 year Non-b stamp in my passport following the 1 month application & consideration process. YAY!!!

Weird thing is that I have never done my TM30, and I was never asked about it....

The whole process of changing jobs, getting a new work permit, getting a new visa went really smoothly, I couldn't be happier.

Just wanted to share my experience, it's not all doom & gloom.
