I have a one year non B multiple entry visa (not on extension of stay) that expires the first part of Sept. My work permit was cancelled about 5 months ago. I've been in and out of Thailand multiple times since my work permit was cancelled with no problems and received 90 day everytime I've entered. Am I legal to stay in Thailand with this current visa since work permit was cancelled? I need to leave the country soon to get an extra 90 days but I've heard that I will be only given 15 days because of some sort of new rule if I cross by land boarder...I don't think this is correct from what I've read here. Will immigration know my work permit has been cancelled and not allow entry or does it even matter since I have a non b multiple?

Also, a new company is working on a new work permit for me. Will I be able to obtain the work permit with my current visa or will I need to start over, leave the country to obtain a 90 day single entry non b then return to Thailand to receive my work permit?

I've read a good bit here but haven't seen anyone with this situation. Thanks for your help!

Yes you are legal.

Yes you will get 90 days.

Yes you can get a work permit and an extension of stay with your current visa.

Cancelled work permit only cancels the extension of stay.

I was in the exact same situation a couple of years ago.

Thank you, that's what I thought but I'm getting mis leading info from the people working on my documents.

2 more questions please.

My non b multiple expires say the 1st of Sept. I will cross the border and return a couple of days before to get my new 90 days. Do I need to have all paperwork submitted and obtain the work permit before 1 Sept or am I still good to submit and obtain the work permit after 1 Sept during my new 90 days?

After obtaining my work permit, I prefer to leave the country to get a new 1 year non b multiple entry instead of an extension of stay. Is this possible? I leave the country a lot over the year and I also change jobs twice a year so I believe having a new non b multiple will be much easier than being on an extension of stay.

Thanks for your help.

Your visa being expired will have noting to do with the work permit application. It is your permit to stay from the visa you get on entry that is important.

You can get another multiple entry non-b if you want to without a problem.

ubj,

Since to op's q are mostly answered, I have a question (mini hijack)

I have a Non B with (no multiple entry) that's good till the end of the year,

but I've informed my work that I will not renew my contract on Sept 1.

When they cancel my WP, my extension to stay is voided, i believe, but my non B is still good?

What are my options then?

Unless you had a multiple entry non-b visa before you did the extension of one of the 90 entries there is no way your visa could still be valid. If you did have one you would just have to leave and do an entry to get 90 days.

A single entry non-b is only valid for one 90 day entry. Meaning you would have to leave the country and get tourist visa or get an exempt entry when you stop working because your extension would no longer be valid.

FYI - I did a border run to Andaman club and was asked for my WP which I didn't have. Luckily I had a copy of the WP and some other WP paperwork and they let me use my non b visa to get another 90 days.

Hope you can give me a guide.

I came to Thailand with Non-imm B visa in this May. Company(non-BOI) applied work permit for me which valid until August 2015.

I got stamp from immigration for extension of stay permitted up to August 2015. And also multiple reentry permit valid until August 2015.

I will leave current job by the end of this month.Company will take back my work permit and cancel it.

My question is : can I stay in Thailand and travel in and out with valid extension of stay permit and multiple reentry permit.

What is the right reason that allow me to stay in Thailand without work permit?

If I can't stay after work permit cancelled,what should I do ?

Thank you

When your employment finishes you do not only have to cancel your work permit but also your permisison to stay at immigration and leave the same day. You can get an extra 7 days to leave for 1,900 baht.

You could apply for a double entry tourist visa in Laos, giving you almost 6 months in Thailand with two extensions of 1 month.

Hi,

Can someone please help.

I have a work permit that expired on August 28th 2015. My Non B (multiple entry) visa is valid until October 31st 2015.

Can I still stay in Thailand until that date, or does my visa expire with my work permit.

Also, if I would like to extend my stay as long as possible what is the best way to do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

If you have a multiple entry non-b visa issued by an embassy or consulate it will be valid until it expires. You could even do an entry on the enter before date and get another 90 days.

If you have an extension of stay done at an immigration office it ends on the same day your job ends.
