LucidLucifer Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I currently have a non-b visa which states I must present my work permit to immigration by the 15th August. I do not actually start my new job until a few days before that deadline, and i've asked my employer about getting my WP now. That was sort of brushed off (by Thai admin staff), with the answer they will apply for it in August. I know my employer will have no problem attesting that the WP is in the process of being applied for, and providing all relevent documentation to support this, but can the visa be extended without a WP? Cheers, 'LL' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 You get a receipt for the documents from the Labour Office, this receipt should be good enough for the application of your extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) If you have the company documents and work permit application they will put an application under consideration stamp in your passport pending issuance of the the work permit then they will finish the extension by putting the new permit to stamp in your passport.

digitalchromakey Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) It depends on the area are in..... For example, Phuket Immigration insist on seeing the Work Permit itself along with all the other papers plus PND 1 Tax Returns for the previous month before making an Extension of Permission to Stay on the basis of employment in the Kingdom of Thailand (Police Order 777/2551 Section 2.1); they will not accept the WP3 Receipt in lieu of the WP.

lopburi3 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The document requirement for section 2.1 extension of stay under Police Order 777/2551 is Copy of work permit (in the case of change of workplace, an acknowledgment of application may be used) as outlined in Supporting Documents for Consideration of an Alien’s Application for a Temporary Stay in the Kingdom of Thailand Attachment to Order of the Immigration Bureau No. 305/2551 dated December 3, 2008 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
