Basically if the new school knows what it's doing and the old school is willing to co-operate it's fairly easy to do

Essentially all parties must co-operate in sending necessary documents etc. And the 'previous' school must agree to cancel the work permit/visa on the exact same day the new school tells them to in order to get you the new non-b + work permit (all needs to happen on the same day)

☝️this.

@Peter *********

you can easily purchase a single or "multiple re-entry" from any immigration office

It will simply be "added" to your passport and it allows you to go out of Thailand and re-enter, keeping your status of being permitted to stay under your current extension as-is

@Jim ****

and I'm sorry I don't know about that process 😅

@Jim ****

hm sorry my friend didn't require any visas

@Jordan ******

haha! Yes! Random! 🤣

My friend just went to Singapore

Fairly cheap and easy, no quarantine for vaccinated visitors

Getting back into Thailand is the more expensive and inconvenient part , however if she has the insurance coverage and her Thai pass figured out it's much less stressful

Currently with even just 1 night in an SHA+ with the PCR test and necessary transportation from the airport etc... the return into Thailand is between 5-10,000 baht incl. flight in.

@Benjamin *****

if denied for the 60 day covid extension is the 1900 still collected by immigration??

@Benjamin *****

both the one-time only 30 day extension- which is guaranteed to be processed (& is required to be used before applying for a 60 day "covid" extension)

As well as the *potential* 60-day covid extension... They're both 1900฿ right?

@Mark **********

omg that's absolutely chaotic I'm soooo sorry

If you can't find anyone in Trang to watch your cats let me know I could maybe help you out (but I'll be in HatYai)

@Benjamin *****

okay, got it. 0 flexibility in those 7 days.

And, sorry but just to confirm ... This thread is regarding having a current extension of stay based on working (NON B) or studying (ED) ... *EVEN IF* a person has never applied/had the 60 day covid extension, correct?

Or is this very specifically geared at attaining *another* covid extension (assuming you've had 1 already)
