Can I Obtain A 1yr Travel Visa Following Working 3+yrs

Featured Replies

I have been working with a work permit at the same firm for more than four years but I resigned last month and my work permit will be cancelled on Monday leaving me with 7days in which to leave the country. Ideally, I would like to take a year break in Thailand before deciding on new employment here.

I heard about two years ago from a lawyer that a one year travel visa is available from the immigration offices in Bangkok for persons who've worked with a work permit for a mimimum of three years and that I wouldn't have to leave the country in order to receive this visa. However, calling around lawyers yesterday and today, nobody seems to have heard about this. I haven't yet gone to immigration to check.

Has anyone in this forum heard about this and, if so, is it still available?

Best regards,

Never heard of any such thing.

You are right Lop. No such visa exists. A Non O might be the only chance if married to a Thai or over 50 years of age.
