Ok - i guess there is a disconnect of information between BOI immigration officers and the new rules. Yesterday i was at the BOI as i will be cancelling my work permit next week and asked them what options i had to extend my stay after i had cancelled. The immigration officer told me i could cancel next week and go and get a 60 day covid extension.

"You CANNOT get another 60 day covid extension." By "another" does this imply that if you have a "non im" visa and have yet to apply for a covid extension previously this is still an option?

@Robert ******

Thanks for your reply. As mentioned above the new company wont have the paperwork in time before the time my current extension of stay expires. My question is if there is a way to extend this until the new company gets things sorted on their end or there any other options for me other than having to leave the country on the 14th.

Sorry i forgot to clarify, after company cancelled the BOI extension to transfer me to the other company they realized at that time it wasnt possible so they switched me back under the company with the BOI again

@Morten ********

No im still under the BOI extension

Sorry, let me clarify. I entered on the non (ib) visa. And received the 2 year extension of stay under the BOI. At the start of covid , the company i work for attempted to switch me to the second company. After cancelling the BOI extension, armed with the paperwork to employ me under the new company i went to chaengwatttana. The immigration officer referred to the original non (ib) visa and said that it cant be done and required me to leave the country and get a standard non b as apparently non ib's are for BOI companies only and there for cant get an extension of stay based of of that.
