Thank you for sharing. Yes, from my recent knowledge, BOI and non-BOI are quite different in terms of complexity while processing visa. I should go for a BOI company next time i switch job haha. I didn't know back then.

thank you for your answer.

Thank you for your response. Just being confused because the stamp doesn't indicate any sign that my stay permit will be temporarily extend till that result date. And also do you know any case that the immigration officers visit the office to inspect?i I found some discussion on this forum about officers notifying applicants that they shouldn't travel far because they might inspect. Just wonder because I will be WFH most of the time.

Hello everyone, I was on business visa for 3 months when entering thailand 3 months ago. Me and my company prepared and went to the immigration office one month before my visa expiry date. However, due to complex documents requests from the officer, we went back and forth during this whole one month for 5 times and I received "the extension of stay under consideration" stamp on my last day of visa. So my question is that the day when the officer asked me to come again to immigration to get the extension of stay results is around 20 days past my visa expiration day already. Does it mean that I will be imposed with overstay charges? Thank you for your advices in advance.

Hi everyone, Thanks for your suggestions last months ago. They were all really helpful for me. To give you guys up date with my case, the officer who is handling the non b extension did actually notice and asked me to cancel my student visa first before accepting my non b visa extension case. But fortunately, I prepared another letter with the date of departure as my last day of semester by requesting from my university. So I didn't get any overstay stamps or fine imposed.

The reason I want to cancel my visa was that I have heard that they cannot override a new visa if the current visa is still active. And I also heard the current visa cannot be cancelled just by flying out and it will still be there in their system if you intend to come back into the country, apply another visa and work. But still on the other hand, there is an immigration rule that your visa can be cancelled if you fly out without reentry permit. All those regulations are sometimes contrast to each other, that's why I just went to immigration to be safe. Unfortunately, my stupid faculty staffs didn't inform me my graduation date in the system and it all messed up.

Will do so, really appreciate your suggestion. As you mentioned, I am a bit confused with all these rules and regulations. From what some agents said is that the immigration cannot do the extension of stay with the purpose of work if they haven't cancel my last student visa yet. This means the immigration has to cancel the currently active student visa first in order to apply for the new non b visa. My little brain is not functioning haha. Hopefully, everything be alright. Thank you for all of your advices and suggestion again.

Unfortunately, my employer just uses their HR team to deal the visa matters of their foreign employees.

Because I have to show the certificate of completion for the program I attended, which I need to request to the university two weeks before my student visa cancellation day, to the immigration. On that certificate, the registrar office marked as the program completion day as 4th April, but my official graduation day would be on 3rd Oct. So basically, the immigration takes the 4th April as the graduation day because they just check that certificate.

Exactly, just curious if any chance I could avoid the stamp because I already had a new non - b visa over the existing student visa. Paying fine is not a problem although a bit too much for 45 days, but the problem would be the overstay stamp on my passport.

I think it would be under extension of stay because it was an extension to 3 months ed visa which I applied outside of Thailand.

Hello guys, I was on student visa and finished my program last March 2024. I secured a job in Thailand already and my plan was to cancel my student visa, go to the border and apply the non B visa, come back in and apply work permit and extend the non b visa. However, the issue arises with my student visa cancellation. My official graduation will be on Oct 2024 but the university system flagged me as graduated on April 2024 without notifying me. As my visa is still valid till 31 May 2024, I keep staying in the country until I was about to go out for applying Non - B visa at the border. Before I flew out of the country on May 17, I went to immigration to cancel my student visa on May 16. But they told me that I overstayed because university tagged me as graduated since 4th of April. They forced me to fly out of country without canceling my visa and asked me to apply new non B visa at the border and come cancel and pay fine at the immigration when I extend my non B visa back in the country. My question here is that as I already got the new non B visa and work permit in thailand, i will have to extend my non b visa this month, any chance I could avoid the stamp and fine without canceling backwards for the student visa? Sorry for the complex writing. and thank you for any of your inputs.
