I just got my Work Permit (blue book) at the Labor Office. What are the requirements in Immigration for extending my visa until contract expires.

Hello!

 

I recently got my Work Permit Blue book yesterday to be able to legally work here in Thailand as an English Teacher.

 

The next step would be extending my Non-B visa until contract expires (March 31, 2020.)

 

What are the requirements in Chiang Mai Immigration?

 

I tried to google it but no concise and direct answer. On the other hand, my school new staff don't know anything.

 

Thanks

From the immigration website for working as a teacher. Not specific for Chiang Mai but it should be close.

At a government school. https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_6

At a private school. https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_7

Ohh one more thing @ubonjoe,

 

My non B visa will expire on January 23, 2020. When should I need to go to Immigration? (Even though I already got my blue book last week.)

You can apply for the one year extension from now to the last day if or when your employer has all the supporting documents ready.

January 2nd, 3rd and then 6th, 7th, etc... -- all banks and local immigration offices , for instance, will be open?
