Hi,

I am changing jobs and need to transfer my work permit and non-b. Anyone if it is still doable? If so, anyone got a good lawyer's phone number?

I am moving from Rayong to Bkk

Thanks to anyone who can help.

No it is not - work permits are issued by the local labor office. As for your stay are you here on a 90 day visa entry or a one year extension of stay? If a 90 day visa no effect but if extension of stay you will have to obtain a new one as that will end on your last day of work.

I have a non-b valid till next March, and 3 years ago I transferred a work permit using the services of a lawyer. Can't get a hold of her now. The work permit was succesfully transferred and all i had left to do was transfer the non-b.

It was doable and prolly still is. PM me if anyone has a good lawyer's number.

Thanks

You can transfer the WP if in the same provincal area. Is your Non Imm B an extension from the Immigration office or a Multi, if from Immigration the last day of your work is the last day you can stay in Thailand, unless you get a 7 day extension.

No you didnt, both Pattaya and Rayong are part of Chonburi Province, you transferred the WP within the same province..........

Soutpeel thinks that Pattaya and Rayong are part of Chonburi Province. I hope indeed that Soutpeel isn't teaching Social Studies or Geography.

Going back to your OP, moving from Rayong province to Bangkok means a complete new work permit. There's not such a thing as a transfer. As an initial work permit for teachers might take at least 7 to 14 days, it's not doable within the 7 days extension of temporary you can buy after finishing the previous job.

Best thing to do is apply for a new non-immigrant B or Tourist Visa abroad.

Great advise, but not really.

If your new employer is willing to start with the application for a work permit immediately, you might be lucky.

As soon as the application has started you will get a receipt from Labor Department.

Try to get a copy of the receipt of the cancellation from your former employer and add this too to the documents.

Add a copy (and keep the original for visitation purposes) to the rest of the documents and head for immigration.

In my own experience, they start with an extension of 3 months, pending the submission of the new work permit.

Of course, everybody will tell you to ho abroad and get a new non-B........that's the easiest thing to do........for them.

I changed jobs 2 times (one time between provinces) and I never had to leave the country.

I think, but that's just a thought, that immigration might give you 3 months (or 119 days) while you are in probation of contract.

Anyway, don't contact Immigration and/or Labor Department on your own. They prefer it when the person in charge (eg HR) is joining you.
