BOI visa at CW

[enkiki]

Hello all,

 

My wife and I are due for visa renewal soon.

 

Her visa is BOI one and was wondering if she can apply at CW instead of OSOS center?

 

We will both be at CW so not sure if BOI issued one can done there too and also if 90 day can be done there too?

 

Thx

I am sure you wife will have to apply at the one stop center.

A 90 day report might be possible.

She will have to go to the One Stop. The reason it is called a One Stop is because work permits and extensions of stay are issued in one place at the same time.

 

To be eligible for an extension based on working and then to receive it at Chaeng Wattana, your wife would have had to have previously 1. Applied for and received her work permit extension at the Ministry of Labour; 2. Applied for and been accepted for her extension of stay at Chaeng Wattana; 3. Been given a 1 month under consideration period where immigration review the submitted documents; 4. Return to Chaeng Wattana after the one month under consideration period to collect the extension of stay stamp and apply for a re-entry permit if required.

 

Your wife and her sponsoring company have definitely not completed steps 1, 2 and 3 and as such step 4 is not available to her.

 

A regular, non-BOI sponsored extension of stay based on working is one of the most difficult and time consuming extensions to get. The One Stop was set up to offer an alternative and an immensely faster and more convenient route for qualifying companies. Do not even try to change the established process, because if immigration somehow grants your wish, your wife and her sponsoring company will be more than sorry that you did.
