raro Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I just went through thevery same process. I had to return the old work permit and at the same time the new company applied for a new work permit. Upon returning the old WP, you have to go to Immigration immediately after and cancel the non-immi-b. This grants you another 7 days in Thailand. Simultaneously, you submit to immigration the new WP application receipt and they give you another 30 days on consideration. Once the new WP is approved, you get a new 1 year non-immi-b and this allows your WP to be extended until the visa expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Raro, just to satisfy my curiosity: did you get a new work permit book (I believe it is green) with the new work permit? Or was the new work permit stamped in your old book? (I am making a distinction between the work permit (Labour Department's entry in the book) and the book itself) -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
