Crossy Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 It's probably cheaper / less hassle to continue extending based on your WP. If you DO want to change the basis of the extension to 'support of a Thai' you should be able to do that next time you come up for renewal. It's just a different set of paperwork. There is no problem having a WP against a marriage visa / extension, again it's a slightly different set of paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your work permit instead of being valid for every 90 days will now have it valid for the same time period of your extension. If you however have a extension of stay based on business, wait till it expires to apply for the extension of stay based on support of a Thai national. Otherwise, you would have to turn in your work permit and reapply for a new work permit. As the extension of stay based on business is tied to yiour work permit. www.lawyer.th.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Extensions are based on your current entry date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunbeltAsia Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Extensions are based on your current entry date. As Lopburi3 pointed out, the extension of stay will be valid to April 2007. Unless you cross the border before you apply for the extension of stay, then just add a year from that entry date. ww.lawyer.th.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
