Hello, urgent question: my work permit is coming to an end on 23rd April, with non-B expiring 29th April. My understanding was I would get some grace period after work permit expiry before having to leave the country but company wants to cancel the work permit + visa on 23rd April meaning we need to leave same day. They only told me this today *after* I gave them documents to cancel.

Currently have a sick infant at home so I would rather not have the work permit cancelled and have to rush out of the country same day. Company hasn't really been clear if this is possible or not...they said if I don't let them cancel the work permit + visa on the same day and instead I let the visa expire it will cause problems with future employment in Thailand.

In practice what is the real risk for staying after work permit expiry and not cancelling it? (We would leave before 29th to avoid overstays.)

Thanks!

My retirement visa will end at mid April, but my rental will end at late June. I don’t plan to continue renew the retirement visa and not willing to leave Thailand until late June. Any way can stay until late June without leaving the country?

Three extension of stay questions: I enter Thailand with a non O visiting Thai family with the intention of applying for the 12 month extension of stay. I am aware that immigration offices accept applications either 30 or 45 days before the non O expires.

1. If I need to leave Thailand and return (with a re-entry permit), obviously before my non O expires, what is the latest date that I can apply for EOS?

2. If the under consideration period goes beyond the expiry date of my visa, is there a danger of going on overstay?

3. Could leaving Thailand and returning as in question 1 above detrimentally affect the approval of EOS?

TIA

Hi there, me and my partner want to leave Thailand and fly home on the 5th of December, once we extend out Visa however we will still be slightly short on days(90 day visa)

If we had proof of our flight booked home when we do our extension, do you think they would allow the additional days?

I believe it’s around 4/5.

Any help would be great

Hi guys!

Looking for some visa advice, I’ve recently resigned and will be leaving Thailand. My Non-B expires in November but my work permit expires in 2 days (10th). I’m planning to leave Thailand on the morning of the 11th and won’t be returning for a while.

Do I need to go cancel my work visa even though my work permit is expiring soon? If my work permit is expiring in 2 days would that cancel my visa as well? I’m a bit lost, any advice is greatly appreciated!🥹

Hi all! Thanks for the amazing help always! I have one question:

My mum (Spanish passport holder) is coming to visit me for 2 months. He is going to enter as a tourist without a visa (she’s granted 45 days visa exemption). Her flight out of Thailand is 62 days after she enters. We will do a visa extension. Is she going to be allowed into Thailand if her visa exemption is 45 days? Should she take something with her to show I work and live here? TIA!

Can you request the 7 day extension denial stamp after already doing a 30 day extension? I'm willing to pay the extra 1900 but could really use that extra 7 days and don't want to overstay.
