[gwmss15]

I hold a non b visa and work permit which is valid untill the end of my contract on 29th september 2006

however this day is also my last day of work i would like to know if i can get a 30 day extension without any new contract being drawn up. as i want to travel for a month before leaving thailand.

but i will lose pay if i need to do a visa run during my last week of work in bangkok. and im very un willing to any visa run to cambodia due to high crime risk and my lack of basic thai langauage knowledge

is it possiable to get a 30 day toursit only visa after the non b visa has finished

can anyone help me

You are required to leave the country on 29 September if that is what your visa says; so not sure how you plan to work - unless you take an evening flight out. If you are from a country that obtains a 30 day stay on arrival you could fly to Singapore and take the next flight back and total cost would probably be under 5,000 baht (depending on flights). I do not believe you are going to receive a 30 day extension inside Thailand but no harm in asking. You also did not say where you are so that night flight to Singapore may not be an option.

in bangkok as i stated when i said working in bangkok so yes that is a good idea but i may ask 1st if something can be done to avoid this at immigration as you said its possiable.

last time i went to singapore it was much more than 5000 baht round trip

15000 baht on thai airways and this was cheaper than airasia and tiger back in june 2005

Missed the lower case bangkok in your lower case cambodia speel.

No I did not say it was possiable to do anything at Immigration. I said you could ask.

The current listed price on Tiger Airways for 27/28 April would be 4,265 baht. This route is always very heavily discounted by major airlines and I have never had to pay more than about 5,000 baht even on regular carriers. Although it has been a couple of years I can not imagine paying 15k on either Air Asia or Tiger.
