B Visa Extension Re Entry Permit Can I

[FarangCravings]

I am baout to leave thailand and I got a B visa singel entry and got a work permit which expired and the company I work for got me a new visa which is stamped in my passport as good till Feb 2008 it mentions nothing about being attached to a work permit just that i am good till feb 2008

If I leave thailand can I get a renetry permit and contine to use this visa or will it be cancelled when I leave thailand ???

I am supposed to have my work permit renewed which I dont have a copy as yet but thinking of leaving the job and a little confused as to whether I have to get a new visa or this one is good and if I can get a re entry permit before leaving for a trip back home

thanks for any input

Looks as though your Visa expired last month.

LOL I mean 2009

OK. Seems you have a one year extension of stay - you do not have a visa. For travel you must obtain a re-entry permit prior to leaving Thailand. That will allow you to return with the same February 2009 date.

If you lose employment you must immediately leave Thailand as the extension of stay will become invalid as it was issued for work.

Ok My Bad it says FEB 2009 I have to leave by

I originally went to Singapore to get the singel entry B which I got and the company i work for got the work permit of which I had to fly to Phuket to collect it with there human resources person that was late december

Apparently the owrk permit i got expired on Dec 31st so a pointless exercise I thought but they told me no problem now they have the WP passbook they will renew it they kept my Passport and got a single month extension while waiting to apply for new work permit I finally got my passport back with a stamp in it good till Feb 2009 it says nothing about work permit and I have yet to get a copy of the new permit but the visa is extended till 2009

I want to leave to go to europe for a week and wanted to know if I can get a renentry permit beofre I leave so I dont have to get another visa

the stamp is exactly that a big square stamp with stamped must leave the kingdom by Feb 2009

thanks again

After you corrected the date got on the same page (so removed my head scratching post) - above post #4 should take care of it. The re-entry permit should work for you.

As Lopburi said. Re Entry Permit . Get from Immigration in Thailand. Cost 1,000 Baht for a single OR 3,800 for a multi.

[FarangCravings]

Thanks

Do I need a copy of the work permit to get the re entry stamp ?????

[jstumbo]

But you are saying that you are thinking of leaving the job. If you leave your job, your work permit and extension of stay would be both expire and you would need to leave Thailand.

[lopburi3]

Believe just your passport and 4x6cm photo plus the money.

You don't need a visa - you have a one year extension of stay and from above posts plan to obtain a re-entry permit. Or have you changed plans in the last hour? Now you are really getting me confused.

Or have you decided not to renew work permit and just leave? In that case you can probably obtain a single entry non immigrant O visa (and maybe multi entry at some places). Be sure to have birth certificate with you and it probably would not hurt to have copy of mothers ID card/letter from her if you are together. Can't answer as to what is available in Holland.

In his original post he said he was thinking of leaving his job. If he leaves his job, then his extension of stay based on his job and work permit would not be any good anymore.

[lopburi3]

I know - but it was a fast decision between post #8 (where he asks if work permit in hand needed for re-entry permit) and post #11 where he has decided he must obtain a new visa.
