brucetefl Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 For the past several years I worked for a Thai school that supplied my work permit and visa. That school is being closed. I have just created a Thai limited company with 2 Thai partners. Its finished as of last week. Now.... how do I prepare new work permit and visa for the new company? My Thai staff need some advice.

digitalchromakey Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Procedures depend on your intended work, if you are planning on teaching then the visa and WP application have somewhat different application procedures/paperwork to other areas of employment. What is your current visa status? Have you created a Limited Company or a Limited Partnership? Edited October 22, 2013 by digitalchromakey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucetefl Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I am not planning to teach--I actually was in the position of Marketing Manager for my last school. This is NOT a school, it is a limited company with 2 million capitalization. Not a partnership. We have five Thai employees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario2008 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 For a new company you will not get a 1 year extension of stay, as for that tax papers are required that a new company doesn't have. You will have to extend your WP for 1 year and with that (and a lot of company papers) apply for a new non-B visa abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think you should get legal advice from one of our sponsors, as I understand it your work permit is cancelled immediately the employment ends and you have seven days to leave the coutry if your visa is tied to that wp.

lopburi3 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 A work permit is canceled when you or employer cancels it. You do not have any time to leave country once employment ends (unless BOI one stop issued) regardless of work permit status if extension is tied to that employment. The extension ends the day employment ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalchromakey Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yes here in Thailand on a B visa with valid work permit that expires in 5 weeks. Are you on a Non Immigrant 'B' Visa (obtained at a Thai Consular facilty outside of Thailand) or are you on a One Year Extension of Permission to Stay based on Working in the Kingdom of Thailand (obtained from your local Thai Immigration Dept in Rayong)?

brucetefl Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have been on this visa with extensions every year for...... 10 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The day your employment ends is the day your current permission to stay ends, but you can get 7 days to leave the country for 1,900 baht. You need to get the new WP in that time frame and with the new WP apply for a non-B visa. Or if you can't get a new WP yet, get the WP3 receipt (and letter confirming you will get the WP once you have the visa) and apply for a non-B visa abroad. You might get a multiple non-B in Penang. That is if you already have the WP, otherwise it will be a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBrainer Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have a girl in PTY that does this service. She is quite creative. If you PM me I can send you her name and number. Set up the same thing last year and just renewed everything for the first annual renewal. This is the third time I have done this in the last 15 years and I can tell you that they are making things much more difficult that it used to be. There were a lot of hoops to jump through. Required Office visits from the Social Security Office and Immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
