Question regarding expiring passport & visa status

[jimmybkk]

Hi All,

 

I am on a Non-Imm B visa and I have a work permit also. My visa/extension of stay expires at the end of this month and is in the process of being renewed/extended, as is my work permit. I am using an agent. My UK passport expires in November and my agent is telling me that the new visa/extension of stay will only be valid until the date my passport expires, and that once I get a new passport I will need to go through the whole process again, i.e, in November. Can any of the TV experts confirm if this is true?

 

Many thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions.

Your extension will only be done to the date your passport expires. You will have to apply for a new extension then.

That has been in effect since August of 2013.
