Asking for a friend. If they resign their job (Non-imm B visa with work permit):

1) what happens to their existing Non-B visa?

2) Is it cancelled when work permit is cancelled, like in the old days?

3) If so, how long do they have to find an alternative visa option?

4) Is amnesty still an option?

5) And what are the current options that don't involve leaving the country to obtain a new visa?

6) If partner is working, is it possible to move onto a spouse/dependent visa?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,

I am seeking advice as my father is living in Thailand and his visa has expired.

He is 73 years old Australian citizen and married to a Thai national. he has been living there for 5 years.

He has a O Visa which expired on March 23rd, and got a 2 month extension which expired on May 22. He is now there under the amnesty. He has been getting his visas from a border run to Laos.

We don't want to have to fly him home to Australia because it is very expensive and he is old and health isn't fantastic. To get him home and back into Thailand will cost us $10-$20k, we cannot afford this.

Does anyone have any advice on what we can do? He doesn't have enough money in his bank account to apply for a marriage or retirement visa. We will apply for this once he can get his O Visa renewed.

I have a non O as the father of a a Thai child, not married, and my current visa has been extended and expired- therefore I'm on the amnasty.

Normally, I travel to Vietnam and get the 3 months (+2 extension)- obviously this isn't possible- any ideas if there's any options available?
