allane Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 A friend of mine has been told he will be losing his job within about 10 days. He arrived in Thailand visa on arrival, and has been on a Non-immigrant "B" visa for almost a year. He is searching for a new job, though without success so far. Is there any way he can get an extension to remain in Thailand, without leaving the country ? Sixty to 90 days would probably be enough for him to find a new job. He is unmarried and too young for a Retirement Extension. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Does he currently have a Visa or an extension of stay? If a Visa he can stay. If an extension it will end on the day his job ends. He will be given 7 days to leave. I cannot think of any other legal option to stay without leaving the the country and returning with a Visa or a Vise Exmpt Entry.

allane Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) He is on an Extension of Stay. Sorry for not being clear on this point. Edited March 8, 2022 by allane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 There is no short stay extension he can apply for. If his employer agreed to allow him to keep his extension valid for a short period of time he could stay that way. That would also mean delaying his work permit cancelation.
