I have a Non-B visa (3 months, extended to 1 year) and a work permit.

If my work permit ends in September, and my visa ends in October, am I correct in thinking my work permit needs to be cancelled or the labour department need to be informed its finished and that is the day I have to leave (or go and apply for 7 days).

Do I also need to go to the labour department and cancel my Non-B visa?

I have seen some things saying you can stay until your visa expires, some saying you need to leave straight away, and some saying I need to go and cancel the visa myself or it is classed as an overstay.

Thank you in advance

Hello. I have a question about my passports and ED visa. My ED visa expires on July 15. I have an appointment to pick up my new passport from my embassy in Bangkok on July 10.

I plan to cancel my ED visa first, then pick up my new passport, which will render my old passport cancelled. After that, I plan to do a quick border run by van.

My question is: Do I need to transfer my cancelled visa to my new passport before doing the border run, or can I exit Thailand using both my old and new passports and get a new entry stamp on my new passport?

Thank you!

Am I correct in thinking that my friend from Myanmar who has a B non immigrant visa and a work permit will need to purchase a re entry permit if he is leaving Thailand for a couple of days. If leaving from Phuket airport can this be purchased at the airport.

Thanks

A basic question please. I got a multiple entry 1 year non imm O-A visa with length of stay 1 year at the Thai Embassy in Helsinki:

Date of grant 21 July 2023

Visa must be used by 20 July 2024

Does it mean that every time I enter I will be stamped in for one year, even if I enter 20 July 2024? With this visa can I buy a re-entry permit after 20 July 2024? Many thks.

Despite the meant reasons my language school visa experience was a bit shady, I find myself feeling tempted again.

I was told I could only do one Ed visa once. The school is telling me there is a program where they can do a 15 month program for someone who has already done 12 months.

Any knowledge of this?

Hi Everyone,

Currently on a Non-B 1 year extension. I plan to leave my current job at the end of May and travel out of Thailand for six weeks before returining to work for a different company in Bangkok.

Will i have to apply for a 90 day visa when i return or would i be able to extend the same work permit/work visa?

TIA

Hello all, I'm heading back to Thailand in September, I've been in America for over a year. I had the retirement extension for several years, but I've forgotten the step by step on how to apply.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, is the Immigration office for 90 day report in the same "temporary" location in Bangkok that it's been for the last year? Thank you
